[GEO.TV] Security forces have eliminated three terrorists, thwarting their attempt to infiltrate Pakistain via the Afghanistan border in District Dir of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Monday.
"On the night between July 21 and 22, 2024, the movement of three terrorists, trying to infiltrate the Pakistain-Afghanistan border, was detected by security forces in District Dir," said the military's media wing.
It said that the infiltrators were surrounded, effectively engaged and after an intense fire exchange, all three turbans were "sent to hell".
The military's media wing stated, "Pakistain has consistently been asking interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border."
"The interim Afghan government is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by turbans for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistain.
"Security forces of Pakistain were determined and remain committed to securing its borders and eliminating the menace of terrorism from the country," it added.
The country has been witnessing a rise in terrorist attacks, especially in KP and Balochistan, during recent months. The last terrorist attack came last week when two soldiers and five civilians were martyred in DI Khan.
This was the second terrorist attack in a period of 24 hours as eight other soldiers were martyred while trying to foil a terrorist infiltration into Bannu Cantonment in the wee hours of July 15.
