In a separate incident in May, a suicide attack in the Miran Shah area of North Waziristan claimed the lives of three Pakistani Army soldiers and three innocent children. The martyred soldiers were identified as Havaldar Zubair Qadir, Aziz Asfar, and Qasim Maqsood Umar. The children who lost their lives were 11-year-old Ahmed Hasan, eight-year-old Ahsan, and four-year-old Anam.
The security forces remain committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region and are actively targeting terrorist networks to ensure the safety of the local population and security personnel.
