Special intelligence based and search operations have been launched across the country and security has been tightened, said a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

The army?s media wing added the operations have been launched in coordination with intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

The announcement by the Army comes after the country was rocked by multiple terror attacks on Friday which claimed at least 36 lives.

The ISPR quoted the army chief as saying that the ?enemy was trying to mar the festive mood of the nation through such cowardly acts?.

Security forces launched a nationwide military operation 'Radd-ul-Fasaad' earlier in February, which includes broad-spectrum security and counter-terrorism operations in Punjab, and continuation of ongoing operations across the country.

The operation includes a countrywide deweaponisation drive and explosive control as additional cardinals of the effort.

The hallmark of this operation is the pursuance of the National Action Plan (NAP).
