The Security Forces, while fighting gallantly with terrorists on night of April 27, repulsed three attacks on different locations in Lakki Marwat District within a span of short time, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Friday.
According to a news release of the ISPR, “a motorcycle borne Suicide bomber exploded himself near security forces post in Lakki Marwat followed by a fierce fire exchange between own troops and terrorists.”
“Own troops effectively engaged the terrorists as a result of which 4 terrorists were sent to hell,” it added.
The ISPR said in two other encounters with terrorists in general area Amir Kalam and Tajbi Khel, District Lakki Marwat, three more terrorists, including terrorist commander Musa Khan, were eliminated. Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the seven killed terrorists.
“However, during intense exchange of fire, Naib Subedar Taj Mir (age 40 years, resident of District Nowshera), Havaldar Zakir Ahmed (age 38 years, resident of District Abbottabad) and Sepoy Abid Hussain (age 29 years, resident of District DI Khan) having fought gallantly, embraced shahadat,” the ISPR said.
It said “sanitization of the areas” was being carried out to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area. “Security Forces of Pakistan are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve.”
