ISPR clarification

An ISPR Spokesman said that hospital in Miran Shah North Waziristan Agency was demolished as security forces received heavy fire from the hospital building after the IED explosion on July 5 at a military convoy resulting in shahadat of three soldiers and injuries to seven.
Terrorists hiding in the hospital even fired on the helicopters that went for the rescue. The hospital had proper firing bays and foxholes in the walls for effective firing. There were also reports that miscreants, injured during different operations by security forces, were being treated in the same hospital. The Spokesman said that realising their responsibility, the Maliks of the area proposed destruction of the said hospital to the Political Administration.
