Two soldiers of the Pakistan Army embraced martyrdom when terrorists from across the border, inside Afghanistan, attacked a military post in Dwatoi, North Waziristan, the military’s media wing said Wednesday.
“Own troops responded in a befitting manner. During an exchange of fire, 2 soldiers, Havaldar Saleem, age 43 years, and Lance Naik Pervaiz, age 35 years, embraced shahadat,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The statement said Pakistan has consistently been asking Afghanistan to ensure effective border control on its side.
“Pakistan strongly condemns the continuous use of Afghan soil for terrorist activities against Pakistan,” it added.
