Security forces successfully foiled an infiltration attempt on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in North Waziristan, killing eight terrorists.
Eight terrorists were killed, and four others were injured following an intense exchange of fire in the Hassan Khel area of North Waziristan on the night of April 5-6, said Inter-Services Public Relations in a statement issued on Sunday.
“On the night between April 5 and 6, movement of a group of khwarij, trying to infiltrate through Pakistan-Afghanistan border, was picked up by the security forces in general area Hassan Khel, North Waziristan District,” reads the statement.
Pakistani troops effectively engaged and thwarted their attempt to infiltrate. “After an intense exchange of fire, eight Khwarij were sent to hell, while four Khwarij got injured,” the statement further reads.
The military urged the interim Afghan government to live up to its promise of stopping militants from crossing into Pakistan.
The interim Afghan Government is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by Khwarij for perpetrating acts of terrorism against Pakistan.
The forces conducted a sanitization operation to eliminate any other militants in the area.
