Seven terrorists killed, captain among six soldiers martyred in Kurram IBO: ISPR

The operation targeted India-backed terrorists under the Azm-e-Istehkam campaign, killing six soldiers and seven militants in Kurram district, a region facing increased cross-border terrorism.

  • On October 29, 2025, an intelligence-based operation in Kurram's Dogar/Sultani area was attacked, killing six Pakistani soldiers, including a Captain, and seven militants, ISPR said.
  • Amid a sharp rise in cross-border attacks since the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan in 2021, Pakistani forces intensified IBOs targeting reported India-backed Fitna al-khawarij terrorists, ISPR said, as part of the Azm-e-Istehkam operation to eradicate terrorism.
  • Attackers opened fire on the moving convoy, prompting an immediate gunbattle during which an IED detonated near Dogar, and Captain Noman Saleem embraced Shahadat along with five men.
  • Security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to trace the perpetrators, while a sanitisation operation is underway, ISPR said; President Asif Ali Zardari paid tribute to the martyred troops.
  • Cross-Border violence has surged, with attacks concentrated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, after Pakistan retaliated on October 12, killing over 200 Taliban fighters amid fragile talks ending October 25.
