LAHORE: According to a statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), two soldiers killed and four others injured as a result of militant attack on a checkpost near the Pak-Afghan border in Bajaur Agency on Monday.
The martyred soldiers were identified as Capt. Junaid Hafeez and Sepoy Rehman.
An attack by terrorists was initiated from Afghanistan side on Pakistani checkpost. However, the attempt was heavily responded which resulted in death of eight to ten fleeing terrorists.
In August this year, Khayber-4 Operation concluded in Khyber Agency that effectively cleared areas on the Pakistani side of the border.
“The lack of Afghan state writ on the Afghan side of the border, like several other areas, facilitate terrorists to undertake such attempts,” ISPR further added.
