The ISPR said Rangers troops responded swiftly, killing three attackers and capturing another in an injured condition. It identified the captured suspect as an Afghan national.
Four Rangers personnel were also injured in the exchange of fire.
The military said sanitisation operations were underway to clear the area of any remaining terrorists.
