The Pakistan Army has expressed its determination to “eliminate the menace of terrorism” and said that the sacrifices of its brave soldiers further strengthen resolve.
Last week, security forces killed a terrorist during an exchange of fire with militants in the same area of North Waziristan. The militant had been actively involved in terrorist activities against security forces and civilians.
Locals praised the response and offered their full support for the effort to eradicate the threat of terrorism from the region, according to the military’s media wing.

A total of 1,960 operations were conducted in K-P, out of which 1,516 were area-domination operations, 301 were intelligence-based operations, and 143 were area-sanitisation operations.
As a result of the operations conducted by security forces, 98 terrorists were killed and 540 were arrested in K-P.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
