Pakistan military: 4 soldiers killed near Afghanistan border
2021-05-06
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A group of bandidos gunnies in Afghanistan fired across the border at troops in southwestern Pakistain on Wednesday, killing at least four soldiers before fleeing, the military said.

The attack took place as a Pak unit was overseeing fencing installations near the town of Zhob in Balochistan

province, the military said in a statement. It said the troops returned fire; six soldiers were also maimed and transported to a hospital in Quetta.

No one grabbed credit for the attack and the military provided no further details.

Pakistain’s foreign ministry condemned the attack, saying it involved 20 krazed killers. The statement said such attacks are detrimental to ongoing peace and stability efforts along the Pakistain-Afghanistan border. It added that Islamabad asked Kabul through diplomatic channels to take measures to avoid such attacks in the future.

Pakistain started putting up a fence along the Afghan border in 2017 to contain krazed killer movement and to curb smuggling and illegal border crossing. Pakistain says it has completed about 85 percent of the fence along the 2,611-kilometer (1,622-mile) boundary with Afghanistan that’s known as the Durand Line.
