Sambaza, located in District Zhob, is close to the Pak-Afghan border, where the skirmish occurred.

ISPR further said that security forces had responded rapidly to the extremists’ attempts to penetrate Pakistan’s borders.

Havildar Sattar, Lance Naiks Sher Azam and Adnan, and Sepoy Nadeem were named as the fallen soldiers.

Three TTP militants were reportedly killed and numerous more were injured in the exchange of fire, according to the military’s media arm.

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has pledged to keep up its fight against “enemies of peace and prosperity in the country.”

A big number of terrorists, armed with cutting-edge weaponry, attacked two military installations in the Kalash area of district Chitral, close to the Afghanistan border, earlier this month, killing four Pakistani troops, according to a statement released by the military.

Information regarding terrorist activity and concentration in the Gawardesh, Pitigal, Barg-e-Matel, and Batash regions of Afghanistan’s Nuristan and Kunar provinces was reportedly picked up and promptly shared with the interim Afghan administration, as reported by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

“Own posts were already on high alert due to the heightened threat environment. The heroic soldiers fought fiercely and successfully repelled the terrorist attacks, causing significant deaths among the attackers. Twelve terrorists were “sent to hell” and several more were “critically injured” during the fire exchange, according to the statement.
