Four security personnel martyred in cross-border firing from Iran

RAWALPINDI: Four security personnel embraced martyrdom in a cross-border terror attack from Iran border in Balochistan’s Panjgur district, ARY News reported on Wednesday, citing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

According to the military’s media wing, the incident occurred when terrorists from across the Pakistan-Iran border targeted a convoy of security personnel patrolling along the divide in the Chukab Sector of Balochistan’s Panjgur District.

The ISPR said that the militants used Iranian soil to “target a convoy of security forces patrolling along the border”. Iran has been asked to hunt down the terrorists on their side, the ISPR statement said.

Earlier in the day, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported that four terrorists were killed in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Hoshab.

According to the military’s media wing, the security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation (IBO) on the hideouts of the terrorists in Hoshab.

During the exchange of fire, four terrorists were killed, the ISPR added. The statement noted that a considerable quantity of weapons and ammunition were also recovered in the IBO.
