An encounter between troops and terrorists resulted in the death of one militant in North Waziristan District and another in South Waziristan District. However, the exchange of fire also led to the martyrdom of Naik Fazal Janan, who fought bravely in the line of duty.
The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) released a statement about the successful operations, highlighting the recovery of weapons and ammunition from the terrorists.
According to a press release by ISPR, there were two separate firefights between troops and terrorists on April 8, 2023.
The first exchange took place in the general area of Razmak in North Waziristan District.
The troops were able to effectively engage the terrorists’ location and as a result, one terrorist was killed. The troops also recovered weapons and ammunition from the killed terrorist.
The second encounter occurred in the general area of Karama in South Waziristan District. Once again, the Pakistani troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location and killed one terrorist.
However, during the intense exchange of fire, Naik Fazal Janan, a 32-year-old soldier from District Hangu, fought gallantly and embraced martyrdom.
Following these encounters, the area is being sanitized to eliminate any other terrorists who may be present in the region.
