Pakistan concludes clearance operation against militants who stormed security facility in Karachi

‘Unwavering commitment’

The assailants, after a blast at the main gate of the facility, attempted to breach the perimeter security; however, they were tackled by rangers troops “Pakistan shall undertake retribution operations against the perpetrators of this attack to avenge the Shahadat (martyrdom) of its soldiers,” the statement added.

Army chief Field Marshall Asim Munir expressed his “deepest” condolences with the families of the brave soldiers.

“These sacrifices further reinforce our unwavering commitment to safeguarding our nation at all costs,” he added.

Pakistan has seen an uptick in militant attacks in recent years, for which it accuses neighbouring Afghanistan of providing its soil to militant groups. Kabul denies the allegation.
