Security forces and police in Peshawar district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa conducted a joint successful operation against terrorists in the Hasan Khel area, resulting in the elimination of three terrorists, including the notorious commander.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation culminated in a fierce firefight, resulting in the elimination of three terrorists, including the notorious Terrorist Commander Abdul Raheem.
Abdul Rahim, a high-profile target with a bounty of Rs 6 million on his head, was known for his involvement in various terrorist activities, including the killings of Captain Hussain Jahangir Shaheed and Havaldar Shafiqullah.
The successful operation marks an important victory against terrorism, avenging past atrocities and bringing justice to those affected.
Recovered from the terrorists were a significant cache of arms and ammunition, underscoring the threat they posed to security and stability in the region.
However, during intense exchange of fire, four brave sons of soil; Sepoy Muhammad Idrees (age: 34 years, resident of Swabi District), Sepoy Badam Gul (age: 34 years, resident of Kohat District) of Pakistan Army and Sub Inspector Tajmir Shah, (age: 38 years, resident of: Peshawar District) & Assistant Sub Inspector Muhammad Akram (age: 34 years, resident of Mansehra District) of CTD KPK, having fought gallantly, embraced martyrdom.
Additionally, three policemen, including a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) from CTD, sustained injuries during the operation.
ISPR emphasized that Pakistan’s security forces, in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, remain committed to ensuring peace and stability nationwide.
Such sacrifices, the military’s media wing noted, serve to strengthen the resolve of the nation in its fight against terrorism.
