2023-04-01
[Dawn] A soldier embraced martyrdom during an exchange of fire with bandidos Death Eaters in the Mir Ali area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s North Wazoo district, the army’s media wing said on Friday.

According to a blurb from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), 29-year-old Sepoy Irsha Ullah was martyred during the battle. "Own troops fought bravely and effectively engaged the terrorists’ location," the statement said.

The ISPR added that "sanitisation" activity was being carried out to eliminate any bandidos Death Eaters found in the area.

"Pakistain’s security forces are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," it said.

According to Radio Pakistain, the sepoy’s funeral prayers were later offered in Karak district.

The report added that senior serving and retired officers, soldiers, relatives and a large number of people attended the funeral where the sepoy was laid to "rest with full military honour".

"From March 30, onwards an IBO has been initiated to intercept a group of bandidos Death Eaters operating in general area Noshman, south of Sibi," said an ISPR blurb. "The bandidos Death Eaters were linked with the targeting of civilians in the area besides harassment of coal mine owners."

The ISPR added that multiple ambushes had been laid along different routes in the area frequented by bandidos Death Eaters for the past two days based on credible information.

"Resultantly, a party of three bandidos Death Eaters was intercepted while moving towards their hideout. On being blocked, they opened fire on the security forces," the ISPR said. "During the ensuing heavy exchange of fire, one terrorist has been killed while two others have been injured."

The ISPR said a cache of arms and ammunition was also recovered.

"Pakistain army, in step with the nation, remains determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability, and progress of Balochistan," the statement concluded.
