The military’s media wing said Munir visited Wana in South Waziristan to assess the security situation and operational readiness along the western border.
During the visit, he was given a detailed briefing on the prevailing security environment, intelligence-based operations and border management measures. He was also updated on the progress of Operation Ghazab lil-Haq and recent developments along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier.
According to the statement, Munir stressed that peace between the two countries could only be achieved if the Afghan Taliban renounced backing for terrorist organisations. He further said that the use of Afghan territory by Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna al-Hindustan for attacks against Pakistan was unacceptable and that all necessary steps would be taken to counter threats originating across the border.
The army chief met officers and troops deployed in forward areas, praising their professionalism, vigilance and morale amid ongoing skirmishes. He commended their commitment to defending Pakistan’s sovereignty and maintaining regional stability.
Expressing confidence in the preparedness and coordination of forces stationed along the border, Munir said the armed forces remained fully capable of addressing emerging challenges.
He also laid a floral wreath at the Shuhada Monument, offered Fateha and paid tribute to soldiers who lost their lives in the line of duty, reaffirming that their sacrifices underpin the country’s security and resilience.
Upon arrival, he was received by the Corps Commander Peshawar.
