Background: 13 Soldiers Martyred in Terrorist Attack
Earlier, 13 Pakistani soldiers lost their lives in a terrorist attack in North Waziristan, according to the military’s media wing, ISPR.
The attack was said to be planned by India and carried out by its supporters, called Fitna al Khwarij.
According to ISPR:
A suicide bomber in a car tried to attack a convoy of security forces.
The leading group of soldiers stopped the suicide bomber, but then another explosive-filled car crashed into their vehicle.
