Two army officers and nine soldiers embraced martyrdom during an intelligence-based operation against India-backed terrorists in Orakzai district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the military’s media wing said in a statement on Wednesday. During the operation, the ISPR said that 19 terrorists were also “sent to hell” after effective engagement by troops. “Lt Col Junaid Tariq, 39, and Maj Tayyab Rahat, 33, both residents of Rawalpindi, led their troops from the front and fought gallantly before embracing martyrdom along with nine soldiers,” the ISPR added.
