A soldier was martyred while seven terrorists were killed in two separate engagements in North Waziristan District on 10-11 December 2024, said a statement issued by Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Wednesday.

According to ISPR, an intelligence-based operation was conducted by the Security Forces in general area Miran Shah, North Waziristan District on the reported presence of Khwarij.

“During the conduct of operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location as a result of which four Khwarij were sent to hell,’ the statement added.

According to ISPR, in another encounter that took place in general area Spinwam, North Waziristan District, own troops successfully neutralized three more khwarij.

“However, during the intense fire exchange, one brave son of soil, Lance Naik Muhammad Amin (age: 34 years, resident of District Faisalabad), having fought gallantly, embraced Shahadat,” the ISPR statement read.

The ISPR said the sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area as the Security Forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe-out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.
