It's essential to mention that a day earlier, 14 soldiers were martyred in a terrorist attack on security forces' vehicles in the Pasni area of Balochistan.

ISPR emphasized that the professional and rapid conclusion of this operation serves as a reminder to those who seek to disrupt peace. It underscores that Pakistan's armed forces are unwavering and fully equipped to defend the homeland against any threats.
