On December 25, Capt Fahad and four soldiers of Pakistan Army were martyred during an intelligence based operation in Balochistan, the media wing of military had reported.

“Based on credible intelligence, a clearance operation is underway in Kahan area of Balochistan since 24 Dec 2022. Today, an IED exploded close to the leading party. Resultantly, Captain Fahad along with four other brave sons of soil Lance Naik Imtiaz, Sepoy Asghar, Sepoy Mehran and Sepoy Shamoon have embraced Shahadat, laying their lives in defence of the motherland against an externally perpetrated threat of terrorism,” the ISPR had said.

The ISPR had said such cowardly acts by inimical elements could not sabotage the hard earned peace and prosperity in Balochistan. It had said security forces remained determined to challenge their nefarious designs, even at the cost of blood and lives.

“The sanitisation operation continues in the area to apprehend the perpetrators,” the media wing had relayed.
