ISLAMABAD – Pakistan lodged a strong protest with Iran on Saturday over the martyrdom of six Pakistani officials in a terrorist attack on a Frontier Corps (FC) convoy near Pakistan-Iran border.
A day earlier, as many as six Pakistani soldiers embraced martyrdom while 14 others were left wounded when around 30 terrorists ambushed a Frontier Constabulary (FC) convoy which was patrolling along the Pakistan-Iran border; in retaliation, four terrorists were also killed.
No group had claimed responsibility for the attack.
