Unidentified gunmen have shot dead a senior ISIS-K commander in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi. The slain militant, widely known by the alias “Hassan,” was considered one of the group’s prominent operatives.
Although ISIS-K’s main hub is in Balochistan, Hassan hailed from Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and was regarded as a highly trained and resourceful operative involved in major operations for the group.
According to intelligence sources, he had recently been preparing to plan and carry out explosive attacks in Afghanistan.
