The martyrs were laid to rest with the highest military honours.

The funeral ceremony drew many people, comprising officers, soldiers, grieving relatives, and local residents who gathered to pay their respects to the martyrs.

These sacrifices made by the martyred soldiers serve to bolster the unwavering determination and valour of the Pakistan Army in its ongoing battle against terrorism, the ISPR said.

It furthered that the fight against terrorists will persist until the very last trace of terrorism is eradicated.
