RAWALPINDI: Security forces have strongly responded to attacks on troops the other day, with another operation on Tuesday in which 11 terrorists were killed in the Lakki Marwat District.

This operation was planned on the night of June 10 and 11 as retaliation to the recent Improvised Explosive Device explosion that claimed the lives of seven brave soldiers, including Captain Muhammad Faraz Ilyas and Subedar Major Muhammad Nazir.

An Intelligence Based Operation was launched to bring the perpetrators of the heinous act to justice. The troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location, as result of which 11 terrorists were successfully neutralized and sent to hell.

During the action, multiple terrorist hideouts were also busted, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement said.

The action followed a sanitization operation to eliminate any other terrorist as the security forces are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism, the ISPR added.
