Seven More terrorists
ISLAMABAD: The security officials shot dead seven more terrorists in Chitral after a gun-battle on Sunday.
The Inter-Services Public Relations stated this today. The ISPR said the security forces engaged with terrorists in the Ursoon area of Chitral district. It led to the killing of at least seven terrorists and critical injuries to another six.
“Our troops effectively engaged the terrorist location after an intense exchange of fire,” ISPR added.
The statement also mentioned ongoing efforts to sanitize the area and eliminate any remaining terrorists.
It further noted, “Local residents expressed their full support for the security forces’ operation to eradicate the terrorism menace from the country.”
On September 6, security forces thwarted an attack on two border posts in Chitral district. Resultantly, 12 terrorists were killed while four Pakistani soldiers embraced martyrdom. These military posts are situated near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the Kalash area of the district.
Pakistan warns of a serious response after chitral attack
Meanwhile, Interim Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti delivered a stern warning to those involved in the cross-border attack in Chitral from Afghanistan. Bugti delivered the message during a press conference in Islamabad.
Bugti stated, “It doesn’t matter who attacks us. For us, everyone who attacks us is a terrorist. We will respond to whoever attacks us, and our response will be seen, Insha’Allah.”
Security officials are patroling in Chitral after cross-border attack from Afghanistan.
Interior Minister, nonetheless, said that it was premature to establish involvement of Afghan Taliban in the attack.
Responding to a question, Bugti remarked, “It is premature to say whether Afghans were part of it or if there were only TTP members.”
He also reminded that the incumbent Afghan government had signed the Doha agreement. They are supposed not to allow their soil to be used against any country.
The cross-border attack took place on Pakistan’s Defence and Martyrs Day.
