Radd-ul-Fasaad will target all troublemakers: COAS
Meanwhile, a huge cache of arms and ammunition was recovered as Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad intensifies in the country, said ISPR.
The Pakistan army launched the new countrywide anti-terrorist offensive after a series of deadly bombings across Pakistan killed over 100 people in February. The suicide attack at the famed Lal Shahbaz Qalandar shrine in Sehwan was Pakistan’s deadliest attack in two years.
Recently, local tribesmen from the Ambar Utmankhel and Daweezai Pandyali tribes offered their support for the operation after meeting officials of the Frontier Corps.
Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has also vowed that the country’s military and security agencies will crack down on ‘all troublemakers’ under the latest military operation.
