The two cities are located close to the border with India, giving them strategic importance, particularly in the wake of a brief but intense military clash between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in May.
The conflict erupted after India launched missile strikes on Pakistani cities, claiming it was targeting “terror infrastructure” following a gun attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir. Pakistan denied any involvement in the incident and called for an impartial international investigation.
Both sides exchanged missiles and artillery fire and deployed fighter aircraft and drones during four days of hostilities before a US-brokered ceasefire brought the escalation to a halt.
A video released by ISPR showed Field Marshal Asim Munir observing a military demonstration involving tanks and drones.
During his interaction with the troops, the field marshal praised their high morale, professionalism and unwavering commitment to national defence.
He reiterated that the Pakistan Army remains fully focused on addressing internal and external challenges, including “hostile hybrid campaigns, extremist ideologies, and divisive elements seeking to undermine national stability.”
Earlier on his arrival at Gujranwala, the field marshal was received by Corps Commander Gujranwala.
