In a series of decisive operations spanning May 26th to May 27th, 2024, security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province successfully neutralized twenty-three terrorists, underscoring their unwavering commitment to combat terrorism.
On May 26th, an intelligence-led operation unfolded in the Hassan Khel area of Peshawar District. Swift and coordinated actions by security forces resulted in the elimination of six terrorists, along with the dismantling of multiple hideouts. Tragically, the valorous efforts of Captain Hussain Jehangir and Havildar Shafiq Ullah ended in martyrdom during the operation.
The following day, May 27th, witnessed two additional operations in Tank and Bagh districts. In Tank, security forces engaged terrorist elements effectively, leading to the demise of ten militants. Simultaneously, in Bagh, seven terrorists met their end, with two sustaining injuries in the intense exchange of gunfire. However, the victory came at a heavy price, with five brave soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice. Naik Muhammad Ashfaq Butt, Lance Naik Syed Danish Afkar, Sepoy Taimoor Malik, Sepoy Nadir Sageer, and Sepoy Muhammad Yasin laid down their lives in the line of duty.
The operations yielded a substantial haul of weapons, ammunition, and explosives, indicative of the terrorists’ active involvement in nefarious activities targeting both security forces and civilians.
Sanitization efforts are underway to root out any remaining terrorist presence in the area. The resolve of the security forces to eradicate terrorism from the country remains resolute, bolstered by the sacrifices of these brave soldiers.
The nation mourns the loss of its heroes while standing united in support of the ongoing efforts to ensure peace and stability in the region.
