A Pakistan Army major was martyred while five India-backed terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North Waziristan district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday.
In a statement, the military’s media wing said that security forces conducted an IBO in the Razmak area on the reported presence of terrorists belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al-Khawarij.
During the operation, five India-sponsored Khawarij were killed due to effective engagement by security forces.
“However, during the intense fire exchange, Major Hafiz Ihsan Elahi (age: 34 years, resident of District Mianwali), a brave officer who was leading his troops from the front, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat,” according to the ISPR.
