RAWALPINDI: At least seven Pakistan Army officials including a Lieutenant Colonel and Captain embraced martyrdom in terrorist attack on security forces post in general area Mir Ali of North Waziristan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), a group of six terrorists attacked a security forces’ post in general area Mir Ali of North Waziristan District.
As own troops foiled the initial attempt of intrusion, the terrorists rammed an explosive laden vehicle into the post, followed by multiple suicide bombing attacks, which led to collapse of portion of a building, resulting into Shahadat of five brave sons of the soil.
The Shuhada include Havildar Sabir resident of District Khyber, Naik Khurshid resident of District Lakki Marwat, Sepoy Nasir resident of District Peshawar, Sepoy Raja resident of District Kohat and Sepoy Sajjad resident of District Abbotabad.
During the conduct of ensuing clearance operation, own troops led by Lieutenant Colonel Kashif, effectively engaged and sent to hell all six terrorists.
