Cross border attack kills FC soldier in Bajaur

[FalconsForPeace]

One Frontier Corps (FC) soldier has been killed in a cross border attack at Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Mamond Tehsil of Bajaur Agency, military officials said on Friday.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has confirmed that the suspected militants from across the border opened fire on the security forces in Kaghi Pass area of Mamond Tehsil, killing one FC soldier.

The forces also returned the fire, but the casualty figure on the militants’ side could not be confirmed, said the ISPR statement.

This is the second incident of cross border attacks in the last few days. However, this information could not be independently verified as the access of media is severely restricted in the region.

Pakistan had summoned a senior Afghan diplomat on Wednesday and registered a protest over the skirmish during which Pakistani security forces foiled a militant attack on a checkpost on the Pak-Afghan border.

Military sources were quoted as saying that six attackers were killed and nine wounded during a cross-border militant assault in Lower Dir region.

This the reason why I say, PA will have to mine & seal the whole border from head to toe. Not only that the border needs to be monitored by armed drones 24/7. Any attempts made to cross the border, bomb them to hell.
