Military’s media wing says three terrorists were detected during attempt to infiltrate in the area


Dir: Three terrorists were killed by security forces during an infiltration attempt at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Dir district, the military’s media wing said on Monday.
A statement from the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the movement of three terrorists was detected by security forces in the district on the night between Sunday and Monday.
“The infiltrators were surrounded, effectively engaged and after an intense fire exchange, all three terrorists were sent to hell,” the ISPR said.
It said Pakistan was consistently asking the interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management on its side of the border, adding that the neighbour was expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists for perpetrating acts of terrorism against the country.
“Security forces of Pakistan are determined and remain committed to securing its borders and eliminating the menace of terrorism from the country.”
The Pakistan Army previously said that 29 terrorists were killed in a series of operations along the Pak-Afghan border in May, amid a surge in terrorism originating from Afghan soil.
The ISPR had noted a surge in attempts by Afghanistan-based terrorists to infiltrate the border and carry out attacks on the Pakistani side.
