ISLAMABAD-
At least 11 terrorists and three Frontier Corps (FC) soldiers were killed in a cross-border attack by a group in North Waziristan Agency (NWA) early on Tuesday.
According to a statement by Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), a group of terrorists from Afghanistan attacked a Pakistani military post in the North Waziristan tribal region on Tuesday.
The security forces repulsed the attack and captured one of the militants, it added.
The army has been carrying out a major offensive ‘Operation Zarb-e-Azb’ in the area against local and foreign militants since June 15.
Pakistan and Afghanistan share a volatile and porous border that is often the scene of cross-border attacks. Militants from both countries also cross to sue the neighboring country’s soil as a safe haven.
