ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jul, 2026) Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday paid tribute to Pakistan's security forces for foiling a major terrorist plot in Wana through a timely intelligence-based operation, saying the successful action averted a potentially devastating attack on the local population.

In a statement, the minister said the security forces saved Wana and its surrounding areas from possible destruction by acting on credible intelligence before the planned attack could be carried out.

He commended the personnel for their high level of skill and vigilance, saying they ensured the protection of the lives and property of innocent citizens through the successful operation.

The interior minister also saluted the security forces for thwarting the "sinister plan" of a suicide attack in advance through intelligence-based action, describing the operation as a major success against terrorism.

"The brave personnel of the security forces have crushed the enemy's nefarious designs," Naqvi said, praising their courage and commitment to safeguarding the country.
