**Captain Martyred, 10 Militants Killed in Dera Ismail Khan Operation: ISPR**
RAWALPINDI: A Pakistan Army Captain was martyred, and 10 militants were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The ISPR stated, “On March 20, 2025, Security Forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in Dera Ismail Khan District based on reports of the presence of militants.”
“During the operation, our troops effectively engaged the militants, resulting in the death of all ten.”
Tragically, during the intense exchange of fire, 24-year-old Captain Hasnain Akhtar, from District Jhelum, was martyred while fearlessly leading his troops from the front, the ISPR added.
The military’s media wing described Captain Husnain as a brave officer, renowned for his courage and daring actions in previous operations.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed militants, who, according to the ISPR, had been actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against law enforcement agencies and the targeted killing of innocent civilians.
A sanitization operation is underway to eliminate any other militants in the area. The ISPR emphasized that Pakistan’s security forces are determined to eradicate the threat of terrorism from the country, and the sacrifices of brave young officers like Captain Akhtar further strengthen this resolve.
