The ISPR Chief also highlighted the ongoing support of Pakistan’s armed forces for the Kashmiri struggle for self-determination and paid tribute to the martyrs of Kashmir. In addition, he provided insights into the counterterrorism efforts within Pakistan, mentioning that the armed forces conducted over 23,622 intelligence-based operations this year, including operations against terrorist elements in Mohmand and Dera Ismail Khan districts.
