ISPR stated that during the operation, the terrorist group “Futnah-e-Khawarij” launched an attack on the security forces’ convoy, and the terrorists rammed a car loaded with explosives into a security forces’ vehicle, resulting in the martyrdom of Lieutenant Colonel Shahzada Gulfaraz and soldier Karim Shah.
