During the exercise, integrated fire and maneuver operations were conducted by various elements, including Armour, Infantry, Mechanized Infantry, Artillery, Air Defence, Army Aviation and Anti-Tank Guided Missile units, the military’s media wing said.
“The exercise also demonstrated the effective employment of electronic warfare capabilities and information operations designed to disrupt enemy communications and counter disinformation strategies in a modern battlefield environment.”
During his interactions with the participants, General Munir also emphasised the critical importance of maintaining “constant preparedness” to counter any potential threats posed by adversaries.
His statement comes as Pakistan sees an uptick in terrorist activities particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
On December 1, the ISPR said security forces killed eight terrorists and injured nine in two different intelligence based operations (IBOs) in Khyber Pakthunkhwa province between November 29 and December 1.
“Pakistan Army is determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” the ISPR statement added.
