ISLAMABAD: Pakistani security forces thwarted an infiltration attempt by militants at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, eliminating all 16 terrorists in a fierce exchange of fire.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the attempt occurred during the night between 22 and 23 March in the Ghulam Khan Kili area of North Waziristan.
Security forces monitored the movement of a group of insurgents attempting to cross the border and responded with an immediate and effective operation.
