[DAWN] Security forces repulsed terrorist attacks from across the Pak-Afghan border, killing a total of six "terrorists" in two separates areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan

, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported on Sunday.

According to the military's media wing, the attacks targeted border posts and border fencing parties in the Bajaur area of KP and the Qamar Din Qarez area in Balochistan. Security personnel have foiled seven infiltration attempts in the Bajaur area alone during the last 24 hours, it added.

"Four security personnel and a soldier of the Pakistain Air Force, deployed at an observation post, got injured during the exchange of fire," read an ISPR blurb.

"Taking advantage of ungoverned spaces and [with] facilitation [from] inside Afghanistan, gunnies are resorting to such attacks to prevent fencing and construction of border posts," it added.

Pakistain’s military has so far fenced off more than 43km of the frontier with Afghanistan. The military has also planned to recruit tens of thousands of new troops to man the border. It is not clear how long it will take to fence the entire boundary.

Authorities in Pakistain consider the fence mandatory for restriction of the movement of gunnies from across the country.

However,

#1  From another report: "Pakistan plans to fence up most of the 2,500km frontier despite Kabul’s protests that the barrier would divide families and friends along the Pashtun tribal belt straddling the colonial-era Durand line drawn up by the British in 1893.

Pakistan’s military estimates that it will need about Rs56 billion ($532 million) for the project, while there are also plans to build 750 border forts and employ high-tech surveillance systems to prevent militants crossing."
