Troops Of OPHK Foil Terrorist Attacks At Azir Bridge And Banki

Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) in the early hours of today, 13 March 2026, successfully thwarted attempted terrorist attacks on troops’ positions at Azir Bridge in Sector 2 and Banki in Sector 1.

The terrorists, who advanced in large numbers in a desperate attempt to overrun the locations, were met with swift and overwhelming resistance from vigilant troops. Demonstrating superior tactical awareness and combat readiness, the troops launched well-coordinated spoiling attacks that disrupted the terrorists’ assault formations and forced them into disarray.

The engagements were further reinforced by effective close air support from the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI, which contributed significantly to the successful defeat of the attackers.

These failed attacks clearly contradict the misleading propaganda and false reports circulating on some online media platforms. Troops remain firmly in control of the locations and continue to dominate the operational environment with high morale, decisive firepower and sustained offensive action against terrorist elements.

Operation HADIN KAI therefore reassures the public that the Joint Task Force remains resolute and committed to defeating all terrorist threats across the theatre of operations and restoring lasting peace to the North-East region.
