A cache of weapons and ammunition were also seized from the fallen militants, who were known to be involved in disruptive activities against the security forces.
In a statement, the ISPR praised the bravery of the security forces and emphasized the zero tolerance policy of the Pakistan Army towards terrorism and any acts of violence. The ISPR declared, “This successful encounter re-affirms our unwavering resolve to clean up the streets and keep our country safe from harm’s way.”
