The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported on Saturday that six soldiers were martyred and 22 terrorists were killed in three separate operations across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) between December 6 and 7.
According to the military's media, these operations took place in the districts of Tank, North Waziristan, and Thall.
In the Tank district, troops carried out an intelligence-based operation in the Gul Imam area after receiving reports about the presence of terrorists, resulting in the successful engagement of their location.
Resultantly, 9 terrorists were killed while six got injured, the military’s media wing said. In another operation, security forces successfully neutralized 10 terrorists in North Waziristan.
In a third encounter, as per the ISPR, the security forces thwarted terrorists' attempt to attack a check post in Thall district and killed three more terrorists.
However, six soldiers, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat during the intense exchange of fire, said the ISPR.
It added that sanitization operations were launched to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area.
"Security forces are determined to wipe-out the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," it concluded.
