On the occasion of the 58th Defence and Martyrs’ Day, Pakistan’s highest-ranking military officials paid their respects to the nation’s fallen soldiers. This annual observance, held on September 6th, commemorates the day in 1965 when Indian troops initiated an attack on Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province by crossing the international border.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media branch of the military, issued a statement quoting the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and all service chiefs. They underscored the importance of this day, recognizing the valor and sacrifices of previous generations as a wellspring of inspiration.

The ISPR emphasized that the nation’s freedom and peace are the outcomes of the sacrifices made by martyrs and veterans. It reaffirmed the Pakistan Armed Forces’ unwavering commitment to safeguarding the country against all forms of threats, whether internal or external.

Furthermore, the ISPR issued a stern warning that any hostile attempts to disrupt Pakistan’s peace would be met with the full might of the Pakistani armed forces.
