Two Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel were killed early Friday morning as militants attacked a check post in Khyber Agency.
Six militants were also killed in the exchange of fire as FC troops “effectively responded.”
“Terrorists from across the Pakistan border attempted a physical attack on FC Post in Khyber Agency. Pakistani troops effectively responded. Six terrorists killed. In exchange of fire, two FC soldiers also killed,” the military’s media wing Inter Services Public Relations said.
On March 7, five terrorists, including three top commanders of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), were killed in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Swabi district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Two servicemen — a captain and a sepoy — also died in the raid which, according to the military’s media wing, took place in the Malikabad area of Gadoon Amazai. Two policemen were also critically injured in the operation. Gadoon Amazai shares borders with Malakand and Hazara divisions of K-P.
