In a tragic incident, a Pakistan Army major lost his life during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Shakhas area of the Khyber tribal district. The operation was carried out by security forces after receiving credible information about the presence of terrorists in the region. The brave major, identified as Major Mian Abdullah Shah, valiantly led the operation from the front but was martyred in a fierce exchange of fire. This sacrifice underscores the unwavering determination of Pakistan’s security forces to eliminate the menace of terrorism and ensure the safety of its citizens.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military’s media affairs wing, confirmed the martyrdom of Major Mian Abdullah Shah during the IBO. As security forces attempted to establish blocking positions to cut off the escape routes of the terrorists, Major Abdullah Shah encountered a group of militants. Despite being outnumbered, he fearlessly confronted the enemy and made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. The 33-year-old major, hailing from Kohat, laid down his life in the line of duty, demonstrating the highest level of bravery and commitment.
Successful Operation and Capture of Terrorists
During the operation, security forces managed to apprehend three terrorists and their facilitators. The swift and decisive action taken by the security forces ensured that the terrorists were unable to escape. Following the arrest, the area is being thoroughly sanitized to eliminate any remaining threat posed by terrorists in the region. The ISPR emphasized that the security forces of Pakistan are resolute in their mission to eradicate terrorism, and the sacrifices made by brave soldiers like Major Mian Abdullah Shah serve as a testament to their unwavering determination.
