A sanitisation operation is currently underway to ensure the area is completely cleared of any remaining militant presence.
The ISPR added that Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts under the Azm-e-Istehkam framework — approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan — will continue with full force to dismantle all foreign-backed terrorist networks.
The statement came a day after Khwarij suicide attackers attempted to storm the FC Headquarters in Peshawar, where three FC personnel were martyred, while security forces eliminated all the assailants.
