Three soldiers martyred in gun battle with terrorists along Pak-Afghan border
[GEOTV] Three soldiers embraced martyrdom in a shootout with bandidos turbans who were trying to infiltrate Pakistain via Afghanistan border near Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's (KP) district Bajaur, the Inter-Service Public Relation (ISPR) said on Monday.

A statement issued by the military's media wing said that the security forces noticed the movement of a group of bandidos turbans trying to breach the Pak-Afghan border on the night between August 18 and 19.

"Own troops effectively engaged and thwarted their attempt to infiltrate. Resultantly, five khwarij of Fitna al Khwarij were sent to hell, while four khwarij got injured," the ISPR said.

It said that the Pak soldiers fought gallantly and embraced martyrdom.

The soldiers, who embraced martyrdom were identified as Sepoy Waqar Khan, 25, Lance Naik Umer Hayat, 35, and Naik Inayat Khan, 36.

The ISPR stated that Pakistain has been consistently asking the interim government in Afghanistan to ensure effective border management on their side of the border.

"Interim Afghan government is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by khwarij for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistain," it said, adding that the security forces of Pakistain remain committed to secure its borders and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.
