\nAccording to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), CDF Munir visited Corps Headquarters in Peshawar. Upon arrival, he was received by the Peshawar Corps Commander.
\nThe army chief was briefed on the prevailing security situation, ongoing counter-terrorism operations, border management measures, and the operational preparedness of formations deployed in the province.
\n\u201cField Marshal commended the high morale and professionalism of officers and troops, directing them to continue vigilance and highest standards of operational readiness to effectively counter threats,\u201d the statement said.
\nISPR said, \u201cHe underscored that we would continue the campaign against Indian-sponsored terrorist outfits to the fullest and hit them hard wherever they are.\u201d
\n\u201cWhile paying tributes to the sacrifices of the people of Pakistan, including Shuhada and Ghazis of the security forces, CDF Munir affirmed that with the support of the people, Pakistan would surely inflict total defeat to the terrorists and their perverted ideology,\u201d the statement concluded.
\nCDF Munir arrived in Peshawar a day earlier to attend a meeting of the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday. The meeting discussed the security situation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), with the government reiterating its commitment to restoring peace and accelerating development in the province
\nPM Shehbaz defended the imposition of emergency and governor\u2019s rule in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), saying the measures had been necessitated by the deteriorating security situation, and vowed to restore peace, prosperity and development in the province.
\nDefending the decision, he maintained that the Constitution and law empowered the government to take the measures implemented in K-P. He thanked the coalition partners for supporting the move, particularly President Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif.
\nThe meeting came amid a resurgence of terrorism in K-P. Security assessments presented to the federal cabinet showed that terrorist incidents in the province had increased by 195 per cent between March 2024 and September 2026, with police and security personnel bearing the brunt of attacks.
\nOn Thursday, four police personnel, including a Counter-Terrorism Department deputy superintendent of police, were martyred in an exchange of fire with armed men in Karak. In a separate incident in Bannu, two civilians were injured in a remote-controlled bomb explosion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
