“On 30 October 2024, Security Forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in general area Bakka Khel, Bannu District on the reported presence of Khwaja,” the military’s media wing said.

It added that during the intense exchange of fire, Major Atif Khalil (age 31, resident of District Sudhanuti, AJ&K), a brave officer who was leading his troops from the front, fought gallantly and embraced Shahadat along with his two men.

The statement read that during the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged khwarij’s location, as a result of which eight khwarij were killed, while seven khwarij got injured.

The two soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice were Naik Azad Ullah (36 years old, resident of District Karak) and Lance Naik Ghazanfar Abbas (35 years old, resident of District Layyah).

“Sanitisation operation is being carried out to eliminate any other Kharjij found in the area, as security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” the statement added.
