Security forces killed seven “Indian-sponsored terrorists” in two separate intelligence-based operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the military’s media wing said on Thursday.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement that the terrorists attempted to attack a security forces’ check post in general area Shawal in North Waziristan on the night of May 28-29.
“The attempt was effectively thwarted by own troops and in [the] ensuing fire exchange, six Indian-sponsored khawarij were sent to hell,” the ISPR said.
“However, during intense fire exchange, Lieutenant Daniyal Ismail (age: 24 years, resident of District Mardan), a brave young officer who was leading his troops from [the] front, fought gallantly and embraced shahadat (martyrdom) along with his three men,” the ISPR said.
