PESHAWAR: Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir reaffirmed the commitment of Pakistan’s armed forces to intensify their counterterrorism operations against Indian-sponsored terrorist groups. During a visit to the Corps Headquarters in Peshawar on Friday, Munir emphasized the military’s resolve to ‘hit them hard wherever they are.’

The military’s media wing, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), reported that he commended the professionalism and morale of the troops, urging them to maintain vigilance and operational readiness to effectively counter emerging threats.

This declaration underscores the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India, particularly regarding cross-border terrorism.
