Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations, will deliver a significant press conference today at 3pm.
The Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) will provide a comprehensive update on the current security status within the nation.
The occurrence of acts of terrorism has significantly increased in recent days, leading the government to strongly advise Afghanistan to take action to control and suppress militant individuals or groups.
In the previous month, the government authorized the commencement of operation “Azm-e-Istehkam” in order to deliver a suitable and forceful retaliation against terrorists who are carrying out assaults within the country.
Attack on Bannu Cantonment
During a daring assault, eight members of the Pakistan Army were killed when security forces successfully prevented a terrorist attack at the Bannu Cantonment. The military forces eliminated the 10 militants.
The ISPR reported that a total of 10 terrorists were eliminated during an attack when they attempted to forcibly enter Bannu Cantonment. This act of terrorism specifically targeted the military in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a region that has experienced a significant increase in violent incidents.
According to a statement, eight soldiers were killed in the terrorist attack. The statement also highlighted that the prompt response of the security forces prevented significant damage and loss of life.
The ISPR characterized the reaction of the security forces as a courageous and determined response, which they stated was a demonstration of the military’s commitment to combat terrorism.
According to the ISPR, the Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group, which is now active in Afghanistan, is responsible for the recent incident. This group has a history of carrying out such attacks and is one of several terrorist organizations that are now operating from Afghanistan with the help of the Kabul government.
