A soldier embraced martyrdom after terrorists opened fire on security forces at a border post in Bajaur, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to the ISPR, Lance Naik Samiullah embraced martyrdom after the terrorists opened fire at the security forces post.
The attack took place two weeks after three security personnel were martyred and eight others injured as terrorists opened fire at them during a routine patrolling near Balochistan’s Kahan village. Security forces were patrolling near Gichak valley in the Panjgur district of Balochistan when they were attacked. “Three soldiers embraced shahadat [martyrdom] while eight soldiers received injuries, including an officer. Five injured are critical,” ISPR had said at that time.
Earlier, four terrorists had been killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Boyya area of North Waziristan. The operation was carried out in Vezhda Sar, eight kilometres southwest of Boyya in the North Waziristan district of Miranshah.
