Four terrorists killed, four soldiers martyred in Balochistan’s Loralai: ISPR

LORALAI: Security forces gunned down four terrorists during an attack on a residential and administration compound of a Frontier Corps training centre in Balochistan’s Loralai, said an Inter-Services Public Relations press statement on Tuesday. Four soldiers also embraced martyrdom while two were injured in the operation.

The army’s media wing said that terrorists were denied entry at the entrance of the compound, where they resorted to indiscriminate firing and broke into a nearby checkpost, which was immediately cordoned off.

“The valiant and timely action of security forces denied entry of terrorists into residential area which would have resulted into more number of casualties,” stated the ISPR.

The statement said that the initial exchange of fire claimed lives of four security forces personnel while two were injured.

The names of the martyrs are Subedar Major Munawar, Havildar Iqbal Khan, Havildar Bilal and Sepoy Naqshab.

In the operation, four terrorists were shot down including one suicide bomber who blew himself at the end of the clearance operation.
