A solider embraced martyrdom in a fire exchange between the security forces and terrorists in the general area Sararogha in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s South Waziristan district, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that security forces effectively engaged the terrorists' location.
However, during an intense fire exchange, Sepoy Ahmed Ali, 26, hailing from district Charsadda fought gallantly and embraced martyrdom, the ISPR further said.
“Sanitisation operation was being carried out to eliminate any terrorists found in the area,” it added.
The ISPR also said that “[The] security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.”
