Midnight assault collapses as Operation HADIN KAI troops unleash overwhelming firepower, forcing ISWAP fighters into a chaotic retreat after suffering heavy battlefield casualties. Military recovers weapons, ammunition, and communication gadgets, while surveillance footage captures retreating terrorists evacuating their dead and wounded from the failed operation. Despite sustaining injuries and temporary damage to some combat assets, troops hold their ground, reinforce the base, and launch follow-up operations to hunt fleeing insurgents. Theatre Command reassures residents of continued security dominance in Gajiram, vowing sustained pressure until ISWAP’s operational capacity is completely dismantled. The military also encouraged members of the public to provide credible intelligence through its emergency line, 07084988859, to strengthen ongoing counter-insurgency operations.
