The funeral prayers of soldiers who embraced martyrdom in yesterday’s motorcycle-borne suicide blast in the Jani Khel area of Bannu were offered on Friday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated.
The funeral prayers were attended by senior serving military and civil administrative officers and troops.
“Armed Forces of Pakistan stand resolute and committed to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the motherland at all costs,” the military’s media wing maintained in its statement.
A day earlier, at least nine soldiers embraced martyrdom while five others were injured in a suicide attack on a military convoy in the general area of Jani Khel in Bannu district.
