Author: Agencies

Security forces have thwarted an infiltration attempt by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists on Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing three militants, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the security forces detected the movement of a group of terrorists, who were trying to sneak into Pakistan via the Afghanistan border in the general area of Hassan Khel in North Waziristan District.

However, the security personnel successfully thwarted the infiltration bid by surrounding and eliminating three militants in an intense exchange of fire.

“Pakistan has consistently been asking the interim Afghan government to ensure effective border management on their side of the border,” the ISPR said.

It added that Afghan government is expected to fulfil its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistan.

“Security forces are determined and remain committed to secure its borders and eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country,” the statement concluded.
