In the second incident, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detonated in the Sarwekai area of South Waziristan District, leading to the martyrdom of two courageous soldiers, Sepoy Banaras Khan and Sepoy Abdul Karim. Pakistani forces continued their sanitization operation in the area to eliminate any remaining terrorists and expressed their determination to eradicate the terrorism threat.

In recent times, Pakistan, with a population of over 240 million, has experienced a significant surge in militant violence, particularly in its northwestern and southwestern regions bordering Afghanistan, following increased activities by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Last month alone, more than 60 people lost their lives in twin suicide bombings that targeted a mosque and a religious procession. As a response to this threat, the Pakistani government has been taking measures to address the issue, including the removal of illegal immigrants who have aided militants.
