A group of 60 to 70 terrorists from Afghanistan attacked Pakistan Army troops undertaking fencing efforts along the Pak-Afghan border
Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 1st May, 2019) At least three soldiers of Pakistan Army were martyred while seven others were injured in a cross-border attack in North Waziristan.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a group of 60 to 70 terrorists from bases in Afghanistan attacked Pakistan Army troops undertaking fencing efforts along the Pak-Afghan border in Alwara, North Waziristan.
Pakistan Army effectively responded and repulsed the attack, killing and injuring scores of terrorists, the ISPR said, adding that three Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred in the exchange of fire and seven were injured.
The martyred soldiers have been identified as Lance Naik Ali, Lance Naik Nazeer and Sepoy Imdadullah.
The military's media wing said that Pakistan's fencing efforts will continue despite "all such impediments", and demanded Afghan authorities to support Pakistan’s efforts.
"While Pakistan security forces are solidifying border security through fencing and construction of forts to deny liberty of action to the terrorists, Afghan Security Forces and the authorities need to have more effective control in border region to support Pakistan’s efforts as well as deny use of Afghan soil against Pakistan," the statement released by ISPR read.
