Twelve personnel martyred in Bannu suicide attack: ISPR
According to the ISPR, Khwarij attempted to attack a Joint Check Post in the MaliKhel area. The attempt to enter the post was effectively thwarted by troops, which forced the Khwarij to ram an explosive-laden vehicle into the perimeter wall of the post.
The suicide blast led to the collapse of a portion of the perimeter wall and damaged the adjoining infrastructure, resulting in the martyrdom of twelve personnel including ten Soldiers of the security forces and two soldiers of Frontier Constabulary.
The ISPR said security forces and law enforcement agencies are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism. It said that the sacrifices of our brave men further strengthen our resolve.
