[Dawn] Two officers and four others were martyred while eight bad boyz were potted in a fire exchange in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu district

... Hangu is famous for its greenery, hills, beauty and water. Most of the people of this area are Bangash & Orakzai Pashtuns. Part of the Bangash are Shia. The Orakzai and the Sunni Bangash are determined to kill them...
on Sunday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

During an intense fire exchange between a "security forces convoy and Khwarij", 23-year-old Captain Abuzar Farooq from Gujranwala and 22-year-old Lieutenant Sheraz Babar of Chakwal, "who were leading their troops from the front, fought gallantly and paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced martyrdom along with their four men".

According to images released by ISPR, the other four men comprised three sepoys and a "non-combatant".

On the other hand, "eight Khwarij belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna al Khwarij were sent to hell due to effective engagement by own troops", the ISPR statement added.

A sanitisation operation was being conducted to eliminate any other terrorist found in the area, ISPR said.

It affirmed that the "relentless counterterrorism campaign under vision ’Azm-e- Istehkam’ (as approved by Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan) by security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistain will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country".
