Rawalpindi: Seven Indian-sponsored militants were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district, while Captain Nauman Saleem among six Pakistan Army soldiers embraced martyrdom, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.

During the operation, the militants opened fire on the troops, prompting an intense exchange that left seven terrorists dead.
A large cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives was recovered from the site, ISPR added.
Captain Nauman Saleem, a young medical officer from Mianwali district in Punjab, was among those who laid down their lives in the line of duty. The other martyrs include:
The ISPR said a clearance operation is ongoing to eliminate any remaining militants in the area. “Security forces remain resolute in their commitment to eradicate Indian-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan. The supreme sacrifices of our brave soldiers only strengthen our national resolve,” the statement said.
