RAWALPINDI: A Pakistani Army soldier was martyred after terrorists opened fire from inside Afghanistan a day earlier, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said. Military’s media wing in a statement said that terrorists from inside Afghanistan across international border opened fire on Pakistani troops in general area of Kharlachi in Kurram District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“Own troops responded in a befitting manner. As per credible intelligence reports, due to fire of own troops, terrorists suffered heavy casualties,” said ISPR. However, 27-year-old Sepoy Jamshed Iqbal was martyred while fighting gallantly during exchange of fire. “Pakistan strongly condemns use of Afghan soil by terrorists for activities against Pakistan and expects that interim Afghan government will not allow conduct of such activities, in future,” said military’s media wing.
