In recent military operations conducted in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, security forces successfully eliminated 24 terrorists, including a suicide bomber and Afghan nationals, while four army personnel, including a major, tragically lost their lives. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), eight terrorists were killed in an operation in Kolpur, Balochistan, and another 16 in North Waziristan district.

The security forces have been engaged in multiple intelligence-based operations in Balochistan since November 13, focusing on Kolpur, Kardagap, and Nushki, as well as patrolling the Quetta-Taftan National Highway (N-40). During an operation in Kolpur on the night of November 13-14, Major Omer Minhas Nasir and Havildar Muhammad Adnan Khan were killed while attempting to recover weapons and ammunition from the terrorists.

In North Waziristan, security forces engaged terrorist positions in Mir Ali, Datta Khel, and surrounding areas, resulting in the demise of 12 terrorists, including two Afghan nationals, and two more soldiers. The military has pledged to continue counterterrorism operations as part of the government's Azm-e-Istehkam framework until the threat of terrorism is eliminated.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed their condolences to the families of the martyred personnel and reaffirmed their commitment to eliminating terrorism.
