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.

The supreme sacrifices of our brave soldiers only strengthen our national resolve,” the statement said.
