“Resultantly, Havaldar Tanveer embraced shahadat [martyrdom] while one soldier got injured,” it further maintained.
Though security has improved in the country’s remote areas bordering Afghanistan, militant attacks still occur.
Pakistan has blamed Taliban militants it says are based on Afghan soil for attacks that have taken place in the region over the past two years, urging Kabul to eradicate “sanctuaries” for militants.
