The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that Pakistan’s security forces will continue to thwart efforts by enemies of peace and prosperity in the country. Earlier this month, four soldiers of the Pakistan Army were martyred when terrorists attacked two military posts near the Afghanistan border in district Chitral’s Kalash area.

The soldiers successfully repulsed the attack, inflicting heavy casualties on the terrorists.
