According to the statement, security forces killed five terrorists during the operation, while an intense exchange of fire also resulted in the death of Major Hafiz Ehsan Elahi.
The ISPR said the 34-year-old officer, a resident of Mianwali district, was leading his troops from the front during the operation.
The military claimed that weapons and ammunition were recovered from the killed terrorists.
According to the ISPR, the militants were allegedly involved in various terrorist activities targeting security forces, law enforcement agencies, and civilians.
