Quetta: At least five Frontier Corps (FC) soldiers died in Pakistan's Sibi district as terrorists attacked them on Friday, media reports said.
"During the exchange of fire heavy losses were inflicted on to the terrorists in men and materials," the military's media wing stated. "During the process, 5 brave soldiers of FC Balochistan also embraced shahadat [martyrdom]," Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement as quoted by Dawn News.
According to the ISPR, the deceased soldiers were identified as Havildar Zafar Ali Khan; resident of Lakki Marvat, Lance Naik Hidayatullah; resident of Lakki Marvat, Lance Naik Nasir Abbas; resident of Bhakkar, Lance Naik Basheer Ahmed; resident of Naseerabad and Sepoy Noor Ullah; resident of Lakki Marvat.
Security officials are currently conducting operations in the area.
"Such cowardly acts by inimical elements, backed by hostile intelligence agencies cannot sabotage the hard-earned peace and prosperity in Balochistan. Security forces are determined to neutralize their nefarious designs even at the cost of blood and lives," further said the ISPR.
