Karachi: Two Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred on Wednesday after terrorists fired on security forces check post near Dwatoi, North Waziristan.
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the troops responded to the cross-border firing from Afghanistan by an unnamed armed group.
During the exchange of fire, two Pakistani soldiers were martyred. The martyred officials have been identified as Havaldar Saleem, 43, and Lance Naik Pervaiz, 35.
"Pakistan has consistently been asking Afghanistan to ensure effective border control on their side. Pakistan strongly condemns the continuous use of Afghan soil for terrorist activities against Pakistan," ISPR said.
