Two soldiers embraced martyrdom while two terrorists were killed and another two injured in an exchange of fire between Pakistan Army troops and terrorists in the North Waziristan district.
"Own troops effectively engaged the terrorists' location and two terrorists were sent to hell, while injuring another two," read a statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
According to the statement, weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed terrorists.
However, during intense exchange of fire, Naik Zaheer Abbas (age 38 years, resident of Khushab District) and Lance Naik Mairaj Ud Din (age 23 years, resident of Dera Ismail Khan District) having fought gallantly, embraced martyrdom, it added.
Sanitisation of the area is being carried out to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area, the military's media wing revealed.
"Armed forces of Pakistan are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," ISPR stated.
