RAWALPINDI:
Six soldiers were martyred and five terrorists killed on Tuesday when security forces thwarted an attack on the Federal Constabulary (FC) headquarters in Bannu district, the military’s media wing said.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the terrorists, described as “India-backed Fitna al Khwarij,” rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the boundary wall of the FC headquarters. The blast caused minor damage to the wall and nearby civilian structures and injured three civilians.
FC personnel retaliated, sparking an exchange of fire in which all five attackers were gunned down. “In this battle, six soldiers also embraced martyrdom,” the statement said.
