Rawalpindi: Following an intense exchange of fire, a Pakistan Army captain was martyred in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Tank, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the security forces conducted an operation after receiving a credible tip-off regarding the presence of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists in Tank.
TTP Commander Khawaza din alias Sher Khan was killed during the operation, said ISPR.
The military’s media wing added that Captain Sikander (27) from Pakpattan, was martyred during the exchange of fire.
Security forces also recovered weapons and ammunition from the hideout.
Earlier on September 20, security forces gunned down a key TTP commander Safiullah in North Waziristan's Mir Ali area.
Saifullah was a notorious TTP commander and was involved in kidnapping for ransom, extortion and other offences.
The suspect was also involved in the target-killing of Federal Works Organisation (FWO) engineers, confirmed the ISPR.
