Two Pakistan Army Soldiers Martyred During Flood Relief Operations, Confirms DG ISPR

ISLAMABAD — August 27, 2025: Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed that two Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred while conducting flood relief operations. The announcement came during a press conference in Islamabad, where he also provided a detailed update on the military’s ongoing humanitarian efforts in flood-hit areas.

Details of the Incident

• Nature of Sacrifice: The DG ISPR stated that the soldiers “embraced martyrdom” while operating in difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions. Two other soldiers sustained injuries during the same mission.
• Operational Areas: While the exact location was not disclosed, the Pakistan Army is actively engaged in relief efforts across Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir—regions severely impacted by floods and landslides.
• Tribute to Martyrs: Paying homage to the fallen soldiers, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif emphasized that the army “stands shoulder to shoulder with the people” in this time of national crisis. He highlighted their sacrifice as a symbol of the army’s commitment to protecting and serving Pakistanis in the most challenging conditions.

Army’s Role in Flood Relief

The martyrdom underscores the dangerous nature of disaster relief work, where soldiers often serve as first responders in hard-to-reach villages threatened by landslides, collapsing infrastructure, and rapidly rising floodwaters.

• Thousands have already been rescued by Pakistan Army units.
• Relief supplies, medical camps, and temporary shelters are being provided in coordination with civil authorities.
• Engineering units are reinforcing embankments and repairing damaged roads to restore access to cut-off communities.

National Resilience in Crisis

The tragic loss of soldiers highlights both the risks faced by Pakistan’s armed forces and their unwavering dedication to national service. At a time when floods continue to devastate entire communities, their sacrifice reflects the army’s crucial role in safeguarding lives and ensuring relief reaches those most in need.
