2021-02-13

[Dawn] Four soldiers were martyred after terrorist’s opened fire on a security forces post in Makeen, South Wazoo

Wazoo, the military’s media wing said on Friday.

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that troops responded promptly and killed four terrorists. "During the exchange of fire, four soldiers embraced martyrdom," the statement said. The martyred officials were identified as Lance Naik Imran Ali, Sepoy Atif Jahangir, Sepoy Aneesur Rehman and Sepoy Aziz. "Area sanitisation in progress," the ISPR statement added.

Pakistain on Friday strongly condemned the use of Afghan soil to target Pakistain’s military personnel and civilians, after a series of recent attacks. Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, during his weekly press briefing, said that two attacks have been launched from Afghanistan in February so far. On February 2, 15 rockets were fired from Afghan territory inside Pakistain’s Bajaur district by snuffies targeting security forces and civilians, causing material damage, he said. Similarly, on February 11, snuffies fired five rockets from inside Afghanistan in the Lagharai sector and Sarakai top in Bajaur. A five-year-old child embraced martyrdom, while seven other minors, including a girl, got injured. "Such unprovoked incidents are against the spirit of mutual cooperation and are viewed with grave concern," he said, adding that Pakistain had taken up the issue with Afghanistan through relevant diplomatic and military channels. "Pakistain has always underscored the need to use existing mechanisms, including Afghanistan-Pakistain Action Plan for Peace and Security (APAPPS) to address all issues," he added.

#1 Whenever I hear about soldiers being martyred I think about taking a shot to see them off. It's like they got their wish.
