Author: Online

KHYBER AGENCY: Two FC personnel were injured on Friday when suspected militants attacked a post along the Pak-Afghan border in Khyber Agency, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said. Troops ‘effectively responded’ to the attack carried out by militants from the Afghan side of the border, the statement said. According to the ISPR, there are reports of a ‘few’ militants killed in the ensuing exchange of fire. In the aftermath of the blast at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar that killed around 88 people and injured 270 others on Thursday evening, the government decided to seal Torkham border crossing with Afghanistan for an indefinite period for all kinds of communication due to security concerns.
