Spinwam: At least two Pakistan Army soldiers died in the Spinwam area of North Waziristan tribal district of Pakistan during a gunfight with terrorists on Monday, media reports said.
The statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) identified the martyrs as 25-year-old Sepoy Imran Ullah from Bajaur and 21-year-old Sepoy Afzal Khan from Upper Dir, reports Dawn News.
“On 26 February, an exchange of fire took place between terrorists and security forces in the general area of Spinwam, North Waziristan district. Own troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location,” the ISPR said.
“Resultantly, two terrorists were killed, while two terrorists were apprehended. Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the terrorists,” it stated, adding that the killed terrorists remained actively involved in terror activities against security forces and innocent citizens.
“Pakistan Army is determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” the statement concluded.
Pakistan has been witnessing a surge in terror activities ever since the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended its ceasefire with the government in November.
