Security Forces Foil Attack
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), security personnel responded immediately to the assault, preventing the attackers from entering the camp. The swift action successfully foiled the attack. During the ensuing exchange of fire, three militants were neutralized, while a fourth was apprehended in an injured condition.
The ISPR identified the arrested suspect as an Afghan national. The military confirmed that three Rangers personnel embraced martyrdom during the operation, and four others sustained injuries.
Militant Group Identified
The ISPR identified the attackers as members of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which it described as an Indian proxy group. The statement further said that Pakistan would take action against those responsible for the attack and vowed to bring everyone involved to justice.
