On 6 November 2023, security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in Khyber District.

 


"On 6 November 2023, security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in the general area of Tirah, Khyber District, following reports of the presence of terrorists.

During the operation, own troops, led by Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Hassan Haider, effectively engaged the terrorist's location. As a result, three terrorists were killed, and three others were injured.

However, during an intense exchange of fire, four valiant soldiers, including Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Hassan Haider (age: 43 years, resident of Islamabad), Naik Khushdil Khan (age: 31 years, resident of District Lakki Marwat), Naik Rafique Khan (age: 27 years, resident of District Charsadda), and Lance Naik Abdul Qadir (age: 33 years, resident of District Murree), fought gallantly and embraced martyrdom.

A sanitization operation is underway to eliminate any remaining terrorists in the area.

The security forces of Pakistan remain committed to eradicating terrorism, and the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers only strengthen our resolve."
