COAS Gen Bajwa to spend day with Pakistan troops in Naushki: ISPR

Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa arrived in Naushki, Balochistan, to honour the Pakistan troops for their success and sacrifices made in a repulsing terror attack in the area, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said Tuesday.

The armed forces had successfully averted two separate terror attacks in Naushki and Panjur, Balochistan, on February 2, and completed the clearance operation in the area later on February 5, killing 20 terrorists with the loss of nine precious soldiers, including a junior and senior army official.

A brief statement issued by the military’s media wing said that COAS Gen Bajwa will meet the troops who participated in the recently concluded security operation in Naushki today and spend the entire day there.

Later, the COAS will be joined by PM Imran Khan after which the dignitaries will be briefed in detail on the security situation in the area and operational preparedness of the troops to counter-terror activities if any.

COAS Gen Bajwa and PM Imran Khan will also meet the tribal elders in Nauskhi, the ISPR added.
