A sanitisation operation is currently underway to eliminate any remaining threats in the vicinity, the military’s media wing said.
The ISPR reiterated that Pakistan’s security forces remain resolute in their commitment to eradicating terrorism from the country.
This operation underscores the ongoing efforts of Pakistan’s armed forces to combat terrorism and ensure the safety and security of the region, it said.
