RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir Friday reiterated the army’s firm resolve to dismantle the hostile terrorist networks and eradicate the illegal spectrum undermining national security. He visited Peshawar as a follow-up of the National Apex Committee meeting held on November 19 and prelude to the Provincial Apex Committee’s meeting to be held soon, said the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement. Gen Asim was given a comprehensive briefing on the prevailing security situation and progress in the ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the region.

These sacrifices serve as a cornerstone of national resilience and inspiring and unwavering dedication of the armed forces and of law-enforcement agencies, he remarked. He commended the high morale, operational readiness, and unyielding commitment of the troops to effectively countering all forms of threats.
