Troops Neutralize 20 Terrorists in Fierce Northern Encounter
Troops say they killed 20 terrorists during a clearance operation in the North-West, though several soldiers were also lost in the engagement.
Further reporting across multiple outlets indicates the development is drawing heightened attention, with stakeholders watching for next steps from relevant authorities and institutions.
Echotitbits take: While the military is scoring tactical wins, the loss of personnel remains a heavy burden. The focus must now shift from clearing forests to holding the liberated territories to prevent the ‘recycled’ presence of bandits.
