The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) announced on Wednesday that 29 terrorists have been successfully neutralised by the security forces in past one month.
In a press release issued today, the ISPR said Pakistan has witnessed a surge in terrorist incidents orchestrated from Afghan soil, wherein, terrorists from Afghanistan attempt to infiltrate through Pakistan-Afghanistan Border and target security forces as well as the innocent civilians.
“In this context, in addition to other areas along Pakistan-Afghanistan border, security forces are conducting operations in general area Sambaza in Zhob District of Balochistan, since April 21, 24,” the ISPR said.
The press release further said that in the same series of operations, during an intelligence based operation on May 14, Major Babar Khan was also martyred.
Pakistan’s security forces are determined and remain committed to secure the borders and ensure safety of its citizens against the scourge of terrorism, the military’s media wing added.
