RAWALPINDI: Three soldiers were martyred and two terrorists gunned down Thursday after an intense exchange of fire in Kurram district of Pakhtunkhwa.
In its statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) mentioned that the troops fought bravely and effectively engaged the terrorists’ location in Kurram district’s Arawali area.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists who remained actively involved in terror-related activities against security forces, the military’s media wing mentioned.
The martyred soldiers include: Subedar Shuja Muhammad, a 43-year-old resident of Khairpur, Naik Muhammad Ramzan, a 32-year-old resident of Khuzdar; and Sepoy Abdul Rehman, a 30-year-old resident of Sukkur.
“Sanitisation of the area is being carried out to eliminate any terrorists found in the area,” the ISPR wrote.
The military, in its statement, said that the Pakistan Army is “determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism” and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.
For the past few weeks, Pakistan has witnessed a fresh wave of terrorism with the most recent spate of terror attacks carried out in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
