An adult of the Pakistani army was martyred during an intelligence operation (IBO) in the Balutchistan Awaran district which killed three terrorists sponsored by India, the media wing said on Wednesday.
According to inter-service public relations (ISPR), the operation was launched on confirmed information concerning the presence of terrorists belonging to Fitna-Al-Hindustan, an Indian proxy group operating in the region.
“The security forces have effectively hired the terrorist hiding place,” said the press release, adding: “Due to the intense shooting, three terrorists sponsored by India were sent to hell.”

However, during the commitment, Major Syed Rabnawaz Tariq, 34, a Muzaffarabad resident, kissed martyrdom. The ISPR said that the courageous officer directed his troops by the front and fought gallantly before posing his life in the exercise of his functions.
A disinfection operation is underway in the region to eliminate the remaining threats, added the press release.
“Pakistan security forces remain determined to eliminate the threat of terrorism sponsored by the Indians,” the ISPR said. “These noble sacrifices of our courageous men only strengthen the determination of the nation to eradicate the country’s terrorism,” he added.
