Furthermore, a sanitization operation is underway to ensure the complete elimination of any remaining terrorists in the area.

This operation comes amidst a heightened state of alertness against militancy in Pakistan, with security forces actively engaged in thwarting terrorist activities. Just a day prior, security forces in Balochistan’s Harnai district encountered and neutralized a terrorist while injuring another in a swift response to an attempted interception of civilian vehicles on Sanjavi Road.
The decisive actions of the security forces reflect Pakistan’s commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the face of mounting terrorist threats. As the nation continues its fight against terrorism, such operations serve as a reminder of the resilience and determination of Pakistan’s armed forces in safeguarding the country and its citizens.
