Pakistan soldier martyred in an exchange of fire with Afghanistan
KARACHI: According to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement, terrorists based inside Afghanistan from across the international border opened fire on a military post in North Waziristan tribal district.
A Pakistan soldier was martyred in an exchange of fire with Afghanistan-based terrorists in North Waziristan tribal district on Saturday night.
The Pakistani troops responded to the attack in a befitting manner. However, the ISPR said, during the fighting Sepoy Umar Daraz received a bullet injury and embraced martyrdom. The 32-year-old soldier hailed from Jhang.
Such attacks are common as earlier in the second week of May, one soldier was injured after terrorists opened fire from across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border at a military check-post in the Bajaur district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Pakistan has consistently asked Afghanistan to ensure effective management and control on their side of the Pakistan-Afghan border.
Pakistan strongly condemns the continuous use of Afghan soil by terrorists for activities against Pakistan, it added.
