Two Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred in North Waziristan district’s Esham area on Saturday because of an improvised explosive device, according to a press release from the military’s media wing.
The statement issued today (Sunday) from the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) identified the martyrs as 42-year-old Naib Subedar Javed Iqbal from Attock and 38-year-old Naik Hussain Ahmed from Okara.
“Clearance of the area is being carried out to eliminate any terrorists in the area,” the ISPR statement reads.
President Dr Arif Alvi expressed his regret and sorrow over the incident and prayed for the martyrs and their families.
“The martyrs who sacrificed their lives in defence of the country are the benefactors of the nation,” Alvi said.
Last week, a sepoy was martyred after “terrorists from Afghanistan” opened fire on army troops in Dwatoi area of North Waziristan district.
On September 13, three soldiers were martyred in an exchange of fire with terrorists across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district.

Please concentrate on securing the borders and the lives of our jawans instead of facilitating regime change.
In democracies, only the party with the biggest mandate has the right to form a Govt.

The Armed Forces of Pakistan is doing great job to preserve sovereignty and keep Pakistan strong. The vigilante at borders keep security intact. Armed Forces should also help abolish the corruption culture in Pakistan that weakens Pakistan from inside. There should be zero tolerance for corruption.

@Justice, Making peace for what? To establish a state within a state, if this is the case then why not handover the state affairs to TTP.

Sad. I thought all this would stop with a “friendly” Taliban government in power in Afghanistan. What happened to strategic depth?

Every time pak army personnel is killed there, a clearance operations is initiated. Clearance operation against whom? If you have to do it, do it before the attack. But it is clear that ordinary citizens will be tortured and killed in the name of clearance.

It seems the Afghan Taliban have started a war against Pakistan. This is the best they can do. Now having weak or no enemy to fight against in Afghanistan, they have started supporting TTP terrorists. With tons of ammunition at their disposal, they can keep Pakistan disturbed. All they need is money for which India and other enemy states will be happily ready to provide them. Pakistan should be ready to fight another endless war for decades.
