ISLAMABAD: While reacting to the martyrdom of seven Army soldiers in a terrorist attack in North Waziristan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has vowed to defeat terrorism and protect our soil.
Taking to the tweeter, the PM said: The martyrdom of our seven jawans in North Waziristan will not be in vain, make no mistake about it, we will hunt down those responsible.
“These brave martyrs will continue to inspire us and we will continue to defeat terrorism and protect our soil,” he added.
ISPR said on Friday that seven Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred after terrorists ambushed a military convoy near the Afghan border in North Waziristan.
Terrorists ambushed a vehicle of security forces in the Isham area of the tribal district on April 14. The troops promptly retaliated by effectively engaging the attackers, ISPR added.
In the ensuing encounter, four terrorists were killed, the ISPR said, adding seven soldiers also embraced martyrdom during the intense exchange of fire.
