A suicide bombing in Dera Ismail Khan on Thursday led to the martyrdom of two soldiers from the Pakistan Army.
According to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations, the bomber was in a vehicle and targeted a convoy of the security forces.
“Resultantly, two brave sons of soil, Naib Subedar Yasir Shakeel (Age: 38 years, resident of District Kohat) and Sepoy Tahir Naveed (Age: 34 years, resident of District Kohat) embraced Shahadat,” ISPR said.
The statement added that those involved in the attack would be ‘brought to justice’.
“Security forces of Pakistan remain determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” ISPR added.
The attack comes days after a similar attack on a check post in North Waziristan claimed the lives of seven soldiers.
The army had responded with a clean up operation that killed all six terrorists involved in the incident.
The mastermind of the attack, a TTP commander named Sehra aka Janan was also killed in the cleanup operation.
The attack had been followed by Pakistani airstrikes on terrorists hideouts in Afghanistan’s Paktika and Khost provinces.
