Rawalpindi: Two Pakistan Army personnel embraced martyrdom during an operation against terrorists in Balochistan’s Kohlu area, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday.
The military’s media wing said that the security forced launched an intelligence based operation in Kohlu area of Balochistan against the terrorists.
An IED exploded close to the raiding party during the ensuing sanitization of the area.
As a result, two officers including Major Jawad and Captain Sagheer embraced martyrdom and laid their lives in defence of the motherland against terrorism.
The ISPR said that the sanitization operation continued in the area to apprehend perpetrators and enemies of peace.
“Security forces are motivated to neutralise their nefarious designs even at the cost of blood and lives,” said the ISPR, adding that such cowardly acts by inimical elements could not sabotage the hard-earned peace and prosperity in Balochistan.
The security forces had, earlier on February 8, shot dead 12 terrorists of banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Lakki Marwat.
The military’s wing said that the operation was carried out after they received information about the terrorists’ presence in Lakki Marwat. The security forces met a shootout with the terrorists when they were fleeing the area in a vehicle, it added.
