On Saturday, security forces engaged in an intelligence-led operation in the Zarkani area of Dera Ismail Khan district, resulting in the death of six terrorists. Tragically, two soldiers lost their lives in an exchange of fire during the operation. Naik Ghulam Murtaza, a 36-year-old resident of Gujrat district, and Sepoy Taseer Ahmed, a 30-year-old from Talagang, were identified as the martyred soldiers, both having fought bravely and been killed in action.
The ISPR reported that the deceased terrorists had been involved in attacks on security forces, law enforcement agencies, and the killing of civilians. Following the operation, a sanitization effort is underway to ensure the area is clear of any remaining terrorists. The government's counterterrorism framework, "Azm-e-Istehkam," will continue targeting foreign-sponsored terrorism.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed their admiration for the security forces, praising their bravery, dedication, and sacrifices for the protection of the nation. Both leaders paid tribute to the martyred soldiers and extended their condolences to their families. Zardari underscored the commitment to thwarting terrorist conspiracies, while the prime minister reaffirmed the government's resolve to eradicate terrorism from Pakistan under the Azm-e-Istehkam initiative.
