Three soldiers were martyred and eight others injured when terrorists opened fire on security forces in Balochistan’s Panjgur district, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.

Five of the injured security personnel are in critical condition, the statement said. The injured soldiers have been evacuated to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Quetta. The incident comes two days after four soldiers of the Pakistan Army were martyred during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in North Waziristan, according to the ISPR. Four terrorists were shot dead by security forces during the operation. The operation was carried out in Vezhda Sar, 8km South West of Boya, Miranshah, North Waziristan District. “Sanitisation force conducted operation against terrorists’ hideout in Vezhda Sar this morning.
