Pakistan Army Captain and 10 Terrorists Killed in Dera Ismail Khan Operation

The intelligence-based operation targeted militants linked to attacks on civilians and law enforcement, with ongoing efforts to secure the area.

Captain Hasnain Akhtar, a decorated officer, was killed while leading the operation against militants in Dera Ismail Khan.
The operation resulted in the deaths of 10 terrorists and the seizure of weapons and ammunition.
The Pakistan Army initiated the operation based on intelligence reports of terrorist presence in the area.
A sanitisation effort is underway to eliminate remaining threats and ensure security in the region.
Pakistan continues to face a surge in terrorism, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
