staff report
S many as 13 Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred when an explosive-laden vehicle of the Indian-sponsored terrorists rammed into a security forces vehicle in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) North Waziristan district, said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement on Saturday. According to the military’s media wing, a vehicleborne suicide attacker targeted a security convoy in the district’s Mir Ali area, before being intercepted by the convoy’s lead vehicle, foiling his nefarious design. However, in their desperation, the ISPR said the explosive-laden vehicle was rammed by the “Indian-sponsored khwarjis” into one of the vehicles of the leading group. “Resultantly, 13 brave sons of soil embraced Shahadat. In this tragic and barbaric incident, three innocent civilians, including two children and a woman also got severely injured,” reads the statement.
The martyred personnel were identified as follows: Subedar Zahid Iqbal, 45, from Karak; Havildar Sohrab Khan, 39, from Naseerabad; Havildar Mian Yousaf, 41, from Buner; Naik Khitab Shah, 34, from Lower Dir; Lance Naik Ismail, 32, from Naseerabad; Sepoy Rohail, 30, from Mirpurkhas; Sepoy Muhammad Ramzan, 33, from Dera Ghazi Khan; Sepoy Nawab, 30, from Quetta; Sepoy Zubair Ahmed, 24, from Naseerabad; Sepoy Muhammad Sahki, 31, from Dera Ghazi Khan; Sepoy Hashim Abbasi, 20,
from Abbotabad; Sepoy Muddasir Ejaz, 25, from Layyah and Sepoy Manzar Ali, 23, from Mardan. In the ensuing sanitization operations, 14 khawarij were “sent to hell” by the security forces. The statement added that operations in the area would continue and “the perpetrators of this heinous and cowardly act will be brought to justice,” the ISPR said.

PTI questions verdict on reserved seats sans deciding fate of 26th constitutional amend ISLAMABAD
staff report
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has described the Supreme Court’s constitutional bench decision as highly disappointing and a grave miscarriage of justice, arguing that the verdict on PTI’s reserved seats should have been delivered only after deciding the fate of the most “contentious 26th constitutional amendment,” stressing that a nation plunged into darkness when justice is denied. However, PTI leaders made it clear that it would be wishful thinking and living in a fool’s paradise to believe that PTI candidates would betray the party or jump ship to join any other political group because these are the individuals who have endured all oppression and suppression but have remained loyal to PTI and its unlawfully incarcerated Patron-In-Chief Imran Khan.
