RAWALPINDI – A Pakistan Army soldier embraced martyrdom when a security check-post came under fire along the Pakistan-Iran border in Abdoi Sector, Balochistan, the military media wing said Tuesday.
In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations said a group of terrorists opened fire on the military check-post and Lance Naik Zaheer Ahmed, a resident of Nushki, was martyred fighting valiantly during the heavy exchange of fire.
ISPR also confirmed that the Pakistan Army inflicted losses on the militants, who managed to escape from the area.
“Pakistan’s security forces remain determined to defeat such acts of inimical elements, aimed at disrupting peace, stability, and progress of Balochistan,” the statement cited.
