hree soldiers were martyred and seven others injured when a group of 60 to 70 terrorists from bases in Afghanistan attacked Pakistani Army troops, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Wednesday.
Pakistan army is currently undertaking fencing efforts along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Alwara, North Waziristan.
According to a statement issued by the military’s media wing, the soldiers “effectively responded and repulsed the attack, killing and injuring scores of terrorists”.
“The three Pakistan Army troops — Lance Naik Ali, Lance Naik Nazeer and Sep Imdadullah — were martyred in the exchange of fire and seven were injured,” it read.
“While Pakistan security forces are solidifying border security through fencing and construction of forts to deny liberty of action to the terrorists, Afghan Security Forces and the authorities need to have more effective control in [the] border region to support Pakistan’s efforts as well as deny use of Afghan soil against Pakistan,” the statement further read.
The ISPR added that Pakistan will continue efforts to fence the border despite “all such impediments”.
