RAWALPINDI: Two Pakistan Army soldiers embraced martyrdom in exchange of fire with terrorists in Kech district of Balochistan, said the media wing of the military on Thursday.
According to the ISPR, a group of terrorists targeted a security forces post in fire in Singwan Area, district Kech of Balochistan along the Pakistan-Iran Border. Since troops on the post were already alert and responded gallantly with all available weapons, a heavy fire exchange ensued, it added.
The military said that the security forces pushed back the terrorists successfully, however, during the intense fire exchange, two brave soldiers; Sepoy Hasnain Ishtiaq (34), resident of District Dera Ghazi Khan and Sepoy Inayat ullah (27), resident of District Jhal Magsi embraced Shahadat while fighting bravely with the terrorists.
Security forces have launched an immediate sanitisation operation in the area and are in communication with Iranian authorities across the border as well to deny terrorists any opportunity to escape. The ISPR said that the security forces, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace and stability all along the borders in Balochistan.
