Security forces operation in North Waziristan, one Major martyred
Security forces have conducted an intelligence-based operation (IBO) against terrorists in the North Waziristan area. According to the Pakistan Army's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intense exchange of fire took place during this operation, in which a Major of the Pakistan Army embraced martyrdom.
ISPR states that the security forces took action upon receiving information about the presence of terrorists in the area. During the operation, the Major fought bravely and sacrificed his life for the protection of the country and the nation. Security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to eliminate the terrorists.
In the war against terrorism in Pakistan, security forces personnel are making continuous sacrifices. Operations are being carried out on a regular basis by the Pakistan Army to improve the law and order situation in North Waziristan and adjacent areas so that anti-state elements can be defeated.
Regret is being expressed across the country over this incident. The government and military leadership have paid tribute to the martyred Major and reiterated the resolve that these operations will continue until the eradication of terrorism.
