Captain martyred, 10 terrorists killed in DIK operation
A Pakistan Army captain was martyred while leading a successful anti-terror operation in Dera Ismail Khan, where security forces eliminated 10 terrorists, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed on Thursday.
The operation, based on intelligence, took place on March 20, 2025. During a fierce exchange of gunfire, Captain Hasnain Akhtar, a 24-year-old officer from Jhelum district, embraced martyrdom while fearlessly leading his troops from the front.
The ISPR report stated that the security forces had recovered a significant cache of arms and ammunition during the operation. The slain terrorists were reportedly involved in numerous anti-state activities, including attacks on law enforcement agencies and the targeted killings of innocent civilians.
