RAWALPINDI: Two Army soldiers embraced martyred in gun battle with terrorists in Kech District of Balochistan near Border with Iran, ISPR said. According to statement issued by ISPR in Rawalpindi, group of terrorists targeted post of security forces in Singwan Area of District Kech in Balochistan along Pakistan’s Border with Iran. Since troops at post were already alert and responded gallantly with all available weapons, heavy fire exchange ensued between soldiers and terrorists.

 Security forces jawans later launched an immediate sanitisation operation in area and also established communication with Iranian authorities across Border as well to deny terrorists any opportunity to escape.

 Security forces in step with nation, remained determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace and stability all along Border in Balochistan.
