At least 13 soldiers martyred in Mir Ali attack
PESHAWAR: In a cowardly attack, planned and orchestrated by the terrorist state of India, and executed by its proxy Fitna al Khwarij, a security forces convoy was targeted on Saturday in general area Mir Ali, North Waziristan district, said a statement issued by ISPR here on Saturday.
A vehicle borne suicide bomber attempted to explode him on a security forces convoy, who was intercepted by the leading group, foiling his nefarious design. However, in their desperation, the explosive laden vehicle was rammed by the Khwarij into one of the vehicles of the leading group.
Resultantly, thirteen brave sons of soil embraced Shahadat. In this tragic and barbaric incident, three innocent civilians including two children and a woman also got severely injured.
