| HANGU: Three Pakistani soldiers were martyred and nine militants killed in fresh clashes when terrorists launched an ambush in troubled Kurrem Agency on Friday. According to official sources, the battle took place at the Para Chamkani area of Central Kurram Agency when a group of terrorists attacked security post in the area. Three security personnel were also injured in firing from militants. The security forces retaliated and killed 9 militants and wounded several. The forces also destroyed two militant hideouts by aerial shelling. Security official said that the injured personnel were rushed to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Thall. Para Chamkani is the area where security forces have consistently been attacked by militants. The Kurram operation has been prolonged, as it shares boundaries with Orakzai Agency and North Waziristan on the Pak-Afghan border, making the region difficult to control. |
