Security forces have killed at least 11 terrorists in an intelligence-based operation in the Lakki Marwat district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The operation, conducted overnight on June 10-11, was launched in response to an improvised explosive device blast that killed seven soldiers on June 9, including Captain Muhammad Faraz Ilyas and Subedar Major Muhammad Nazir. The Pakistan Army effectively targeted the militants' positions, resulting in the deaths of 11 terrorists and the destruction of multiple hideouts, ISPR reported.
The military is conducting sanitization of the area to eliminate any remaining terrorists, and those responsible for this attack will be brought to justice.
President Asif Ali Zardari expressed deep sorrow over the martyrdom of the security personnel. In a statement, he paid tribute to the fallen soldiers and prayed for their elevation in the hereafter, stating, "The nation will never forget the sacrifices of its sons and Shuhada."
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during the funeral of Captain Muhammad Faraz Ilyas, vowed to eradicate Pakistan's enemies. Captain Faraz Ilyas, 26, from Rai Kalan, Kasur, laid down his life while performing his duties in Lakki Marwat.
