In the exchange of fire, four members of law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and two civilians were martyred.
“Effective response by the LEAs is a testament of their unrelenting resolve in the fight against terrorism, “ it said, “Pakistan’s security forces stand shoulder to shoulder with other LEAs to ensure peace & stability in the country.”
