RAWALPINDI: Four Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred and five others injured as terrorists launched a “dastardly” attack on the Army’s Zhob Garrison in Northern Balochistan, the military’s media wing said on Wednesday.
The ISPR said that in early hours of July 12, a group of terrorists launched a dastardly attack on Zhob Garrison in Northern Balochistan. Initial attempt of terrorists to sneak into the facility was checked by soldiers on duty. In ensuing heavy exchange of fire, the terrorists were contained into a small area at the boundary. Three heavily-armed terrorists were killed so far, said the ISPR.
A Clearance operation by the security forces is underway to apprehend remaining two terrorists as well, it said further and added, “During the clearance operation, four soldiers embraced Shahadat, while another five are critically injured”.
Security Forces remain determined to thwart all such ghastly attempts at destroying peace of Balochistan and Pakistan, the military concluded.
