RAWALPINDI: Two army officials embraced martyrdom  in Kohlu area of Balchositan during sanitisation operation on Friday.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), based on credible intelligence, a sanitisation operation was conducted in Kohlu area of Balochistan to deny terrorists any liberty of action.

During the ensuing sanitisation of the area, an IED exploded close to the leading party. Resultantly, two officers including Major Jawad and Captain Sagheer embraced martyrdom and laid their lives in defence of the motherland against an externally perpetrated threat.

The sanitization operation continues in the area to apprehend perpetrators and enemies of peace. The military’s media wing said such cowardly acts by inimical elements cannot sabotage the hard earned peace and prosperity in Balochistan.

The security forces are determined to neutralise their nefarious designs even at the cost of blood and lives, it added.
