Two soldiers embraced martyrdom while five terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation in the general Sambaza area of Balochistan\u2019s Zhob district, the army\u2019s media wing said on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to a statement released by Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces conducted the operation on the night of October 8 and 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the conduct of the operation, terrorists were surrounded and after an intense exchange of fire, five terrorists were sent to hell,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, in the ensuing exchange of fire, Major Syed Ali Raza Shah (Age 31 years, resident of Sargodha District), who was leading the operation from the front, and Havaldar Nisar Ahmed (Age 38 years, resident of Vehari District), having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat,\u201d the ISPR said.<\/p>\n

The military\u2019s media affairs wing said the security forces of Pakistan were indebted and proud of the brave men and paid homage to their chivalry and sacrifices for the motherland.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt further strengthens our resolve to uproot the menace of terrorism from the country,\u201d it said, adding that sanitisation of surrounding areas was underway to eliminate other terrorists in the area.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has witnessed an uptick in terror activities in recent months, especially in KP and Balochistan, after the TTP ended its ceasefire<\/a> with the government in November last year.<\/p>\n

In July, as many as 12 soldiers<\/a> of the Pakistan Army embraced martyrdom in separate military operations in the Zhob and Sui areas of Balochistan.<\/p>\n

That was the military\u2019s highest single-day death toll from terrorist attacks reported this year. Before this, 10 personnel were martyred in a \u2018fire raid\u2019 in Balochistan\u2019s Kech district in February 2022.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, data<\/a> compiled by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) said the number of militant attacks in August was the highest tally for monthly strikes in almost nine years.<\/p>\n

There were 99 attacks across the country, the highest number in a single month since November 2014, the report had said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
