Pakistan Observes Defence and Martyrs Day, Honours Fallen Heroes

Islamabad — On September 6, Pakistan’s armed forces paid a heartfelt tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes, reaffirming their commitment to national security and service to the people.

In a joint statement, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, along with the Air Chief and Naval Chief, praised the courage and determination of Pakistan’s soldiers. The leadership described September 6, 1965, as a symbol of the nation’s resolve when the Armed Forces successfully repelled enemy aggression. “Our soldiers stood like a solid, strong wall, supported by a united nation,” the statement read.

The Armed Forces also issued a stern warning, saying any future acts of aggression against Pakistan would be met with a swift and decisive response.

Beyond defence, the military highlighted its ongoing support for communities affected by recent floods. Pakistan’s Armed Forces continue to play an active role in relief efforts, maintaining their longstanding tradition of assisting citizens during natural disasters.

Defence and Martyrs Day is observed nationwide as a mark of respect for those who have sacrificed their lives in the service of the country, including those who fought against terrorism. Their dedication and bravery, the military said, will never be forgotten.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) emphasised the Armed Forces’ readiness to face any threats to safeguard peace and stability. “Long live Pakistan,” the statement concluded.

As the nation reflects on the sacrifices of its heroes, Defence and Martyrs Day serves as a reminder to work towards a stronger, prosperous, and peaceful Pakistan.
