Four soldiers embraced martyrdom and five terrorists were killed during an exchange of fire in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) South Waziristan District, the military’s media wing said on Thursday.

“On 6 November 2024, fire exchange took place between the Security Forces and Khwarij [terrorists] in general area Karama , South Waziristan District. Resultantly, five Khwarij were sent to hell due to effective engagement by own troops.

“However, during the intense fire exchange, four brave sons of soil, Naib Subedar Taib Shah (age: 38 years, resident of District Tank), Lance Naik Gulab Zaman (age: 30 years, resident of District Karak), Lance Naik Muzammil Mehmood (age: 30 years, resident of District Karak) and Lance Naik Habibullah (age: 28 years, resident of District Orakzai), having fought gallantly, embraced Shahadat,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
