The ISPR said that the Pakistan army effectively responded and repulsed the attack, killing and injuring scores of terrorists. “The three Pakistan Army soldiers Lance Naik Ali, Lance Naik Nazeer and Sep Imdadullah were martyred while defending a cross-border attack by a group of 60-70 terrorists,” the ISPR stated. “While Pakistan 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 Pakistan’s efforts as well as deny use of Afghan soil against Pakistan,” the statement read. The ISPR further asserted that Pakistan’s fencing efforts will continue despite all such impediments.
