Pakistan Army executed a successful helicopter rescue mission in the rugged terrain of Gilgit-Baltistan. To airlift a 65-year-old man named Noor Muhammad from the remote village to Minimarg.

Noor Muhammad, a paraplegic patient, found himself in a dire situation as road closures isolated him from much-needed medical attention. With routes to Minimarg Hospital impassable, his health was hanging in the balance.

The families of patients like Noor Muhammad expressed profound gratitude to the Pakistan Army for their selfless dedication and timely intervention. Abdul Rasheed, speaking on behalf of the community, recounted the critical moments when their loved one required urgent medical care amidst impassable roads.

"Two days ago, when our patient had a seizure, all the routes to Minimarg Hospital were closed," shared Abdul Rasheed. "We contacted the Pakistan Army, and they rushed our patient to the hospital."

In this challenging time, the unwavering support and assistance provided by the Pakistan Army have been a beacon of hope for those in need. Abdul Rasheed emphasized, "We thank the Pakistan Army who supported us every moment and helped us in this difficult time."

Five Pakistani soldiers killed in explosion: military

Five Pakistani soldiers were killed on Friday when a bomb detonated as their vehicle passed through the restive northwestern region bordering Afghanistan, the military said.

The latest attack was carried out in Kurram district of the mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which has long been a hive of Islamist militant groups including the Pakistani Taliban and the local chapter of the Islamic State group.

"An improvised explosive device exploded on a vehicle of Security Forces," the military said in a statement.

"Five brave sons of the soil... made the ultimate sacrifice and embraced Shahadat (martyrdom)," the statement added.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for Friday's attack.

The Pakistani Taliban -- known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) -- is the most active militant group in the area and regularly targets security forces.

Attacks have spiked in Pakistan since the Taliban returned to power in neighbouring Afghanistan in August 2021.

In a similar attack earlier this month, seven soldiers were killed in the Lakki Marwat district of the same province.

Islamabad accuses Kabul's new rulers of failing to root out militants sheltering on Afghan soil as they prepare to stage attacks on Pakistan. The Afghan Taliban government denies the accusations.​
