Four soldiers martyred in exchange of fire with terrorists from Afghanistan
Security forces foil terrorists' attempt to enter Pakistan via Afghanistan


Rawalpindi: Four soldiers were martyred as the security forces foiled the plans of a group of terrorists who were attempting to enter Pakistan from Afghanistan.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the terrorists had attempted to infiltrate Pakistan from Afghanistan on the midnight of March 23-24 in the Hassan Khel area of North Waziristan district.
“Due to alertness and timely response of own troops, the infiltration attempt was foiled. Terrorists retaliated with fire which was reciprocated in a befitting manner. The terrorists having failed, fled away and as per intelligence reports, suffered heavy casualties,” read the ISPR statement.
The four soldiers who embraced martyrdom during the exchange of fire were identified as 34-year-old Lance Havaldar Wajahat Alam of Ghizer in Gilgit Baltistan, 25-year-old Sepoy Sajjid Inayat resident of Sheikhupura, 32-year-old Sepoy Maqbool Hayat, resident of Ghizer in Gilgit Baltistan, and 22-year-old Sepoy Sajjid Ali resident of Skardu.
“The Pakistan Army is determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” vowed the ISPR.
