Wazoo, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.According to a statement issued by the ISPR, the troops effectively responded and repulsed the attack, killing and injuring scores of terrorists.
The three Pakistain Army soldiers ‐ Lance Naik Ali, Lance Naik Nazeer and Sepoy Imdadullah ‐ were martyred in the exchange of fire and seven others were maimed.
"While Pakistain security forces are solidifying border security through fencing and construction of forts to deny liberty of action to the terrorists, Afghan Security Forces and the authorities need to have more effective control in [the] border region to support Pakistain’s efforts as well as deny use of Afghan soil against Pakistain," the statement read.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal said that the Afghan charge d’affaires was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and "Pakistain’s strong protest was lodged" over the incident.
"The Afghan Cd’A was informed that Pakistain strongly protests such provocations which are detrimental to peace and stability along Pakistain-Afghanistan border," the spokesperson stated. "The Afghan side was urged to take immediate action against the terrorist elements on their side and ensure effective measures so that such incidents are not repeated in future."
