Monitoring Desk: 12 more men in uniform embraced martyrdom for the motherland in Pakistan, said Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) of the Pakistan Army.
On 19 November 2024, Khwarij (the official name of TTP terrorists) attempted to attack a Joint Check Post in the general area of MaliKhel in Bannu District.
In the ensuing fire exchange, six khwarij were sent to hell. The attempt to enter the post was effectively thwarted by its own troops, which forced the khwarij to ram an explosive-laden vehicle into the perimeter wall of the post.
The suicide blast led to the collapse of a portion of the perimeter wall and damaged the adjoining infrastructure, resulting in the Shahadat of twelve brave sons of soil including ten Soldiers of the security forces and two soldiers of the Frontier Constabulary. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed their sorrow over the incident and said that the Pakistan Army is offering sacrifices for the betterment of Pakistan.
Sanitization operation is being conducted in the area and the perpetrators of this heinous act will be brought to justice. Security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave men further strengthen our resolve.
It may be mentioned that on the night of 15/16 November 2024, terrorists attempted to attack a security forces’ post in the general area Shah-e-Mardan of Kalat District and Army troops fought gallantly as a result of which six terrorists were sent to hell, while four terrorists were injured. However, during an intense exchange of fire, seven brave sons of the soil, having fought gallantly, embraced shahadat. Sanitization operations are being carried out to eliminate any terrorists found in the area.
Security forces of Pakistan, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging the peace, stability, and progress of Balochistan, and such sacrifices of our soldiers further strengthen our resolve.
