As the country observes the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attack at the Army Public School in Peshawar on December 16, the Pakistani nation stood resilient with a commitment to combating terrorism while persistently pursuing the goals of safeguarding its citizens and thwarting the sinister designs of its enemies.

In an inhumane terrorist attack on December 16, 2014, the militants attacked the Army Public School (APS) in Peshawar, and over 140 people including students and teachers were martyred.

Termed Pakistan’s 9/11, the day serves as a reminder of Pakistan’s enduring dedication to countering the menace of terrorism and ensuring the safety of its people.

Following the inhumane APS attack, the country’s civil and military leadership joined heads to formulate a National Action Plan which followed major operations including Zarb-e-Azb and Rad-ul-Fassad against terrorists for their elimination.

Though the world is witnessing a global spread of terrorism, Pakistan is one of the worst victims. Having sacrificed over 70,000 lives and suffering an economic loss of over $150 billion, Pakistan remains resolute in achieving riddance from the scourge.

Pakistan’s major cities had faced different waves of terrorism, but Peshawar suffered the most and the APS attack was the worst.
