Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir visited Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), on February 5, 2025, where he paid tribute to the sacrifices of the martyrs. Upon arrival at the Jammu and Kashmir Monument, he laid a floral wreath at the Martyrs’ Monument, honouring the unparalleled sacrifices of the Shuhada.

During the visit, General Asim Munir reaffirmed the Pakistan Army’s unwavering commitment to defending the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
