Rawalpindi: In a tragic incident, three soldiers were martyred in a terrorist attack on a checkpost established in Zarghoon, Marget area of Balochistan.
The attack occurred early Saturday morning, targeting a post that was recently set up to combat extortion efforts directed toward coal mines in the region.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a group of terrorists launched the attack, but the security forces stationed at the post swiftly retaliated, forcing the terrorists to retreat.
