On the 20th day of the anti-militant offensive, Operation Zarb-e-Azb, a Pakistani soldier was martyred while clearing anti-personnel landmines in Miranshah.

Unfortunately, an explosive device blew up during ‘search & cleanup’ leaving Naik Fiaz martyred”, Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Asim Bajwa told media.
