At least four militants were killed in retaliatory fire by security forces when they attempted to attack residential/administration compound of security forces in a training centre of FC at Loralai, Balochistan, on Tuesday. According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the initial exchange of fire resulted into martyrdom of four security personnel while two others got injured.
The ISPR said that terrorists were challenged at entry point and denied entry into residential/administration compound. Failing in their primary target, the terrorists resorted to indiscriminate fire and entered in a compound adjacent to check-post which was immediately cordoned off by the security forces. The valiant and timely action of security forces denied entry of terrorists into residential area which would have resulted into more number of casualties.
In subsequent operation, four terrorists were shot down including one suicide bomber who blew himself during the final stage of clearance operation.
The martyrs include Subedar Major Munawar, Havildar Iqbal Khan, Havildar Bilal and Sepoy Naqshab.
