A captain of the Pakistan Army was martyred while 7 terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) by security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu District, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday.
According to the military’s media wing, security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation on August 7, 2026, in Hangu, on the reported presence of Khwarij belonging to Indian Proxy, Fitna Al Khwarij (FAK).
During the operation, security forces effectively engaged the Khwarij location. In desperation, Khwarij took refuge inside a mosque, blatantly disregarding the sanctity of the place of worship, ISPD said, adding that in the ensuing fire exchange, seven Khwarij, belonging to FAK were killed.
However, during the intense fire exchange, Captain Hamza Akram, 27, a resident of District Narowal, a brave officer, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat.
