Two soldiers of the Pakistan Army have embraced martyrdom in an intense exchange of fire with terrorists in the North Waziristan District.
According to the Inter Services Public Relations, two terrorists were killed and another two were injured in the engagement.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists.
The ISPR identified the martyred soldiers as Naek Zaheer Abbas, aged 38 and a resident of the Khushab district, and Lance Naik Mairajuddin, aged 23 and a resident of the Dera Ismail Khan district.
The ISPR said armed forces of Pakistan are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.
Last week, at least four militants were killed in two separate similar incidents in the same district while a soldier protecting a polio team had embraced martyrdom.
On May 27, at least 22 security personnel were injured when a suicide bomber on a motorbike targeted a convoy in Dera Ismail Khan’s Chehkan area.
