RAWALPINDI: Pakistani security forces carried out a successful intelligence-based operation in the vicinity of Sambaza, Zhob District, Balochistan on Tuesday, said the ISPR.
The operation targeted terrorist elements aiming to disrupt peace and stability in the region.
During the operation, valiant troops engaged the terrorists effectively, resulting in the elimination of three terrorists. Additionally, a significant cache of weapons, ammunition, and explosives was seized from the terrorists’ possession.
Tragically, amidst the intense firefight, Major Babar Khan, aged 33 and hailing from District Mianwali, demonstrated exceptional leadership, leading his troops from the forefront. Regrettably, Major Babar Khan made the ultimate sacrifice and embraced martyrdom in the line of duty.
Currently, sanitization operations are underway to ensure the complete eradication of any remaining terrorist presence in the area.
The security forces of Pakistan stand resolute alongside the nation in their unwavering commitment to thwart any attempts aimed at sabotaging the peace, stability, and progress of Balochistan. The sacrifice of brave soldiers like Major Babar Khan serves as a testament to our collective resolve in the face of adversity.
