RAWALPINDI – Pakistani security forces successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt by a group of terrorists attempting to cross the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the Rajgal area of Khyber District.
The movement of the terrorist group was detected on the night of December 19-20, 2024. Pakistani troops promptly engaged the attackers, preventing their infiltration and killing four terrorists in the process.
During the fierce exchange of gunfire, Sepoy Amir Sohail Afridi, a brave soldier from District Khyber, made the ultimate sacrifice and was martyred while defending the nation.
