6 FC personnel martyred in IED blast near Pak-Iran border
66
Five Frontier Corps (FC) soldiers and one officer were martyred after their vehicle was targeted with an improvised explosive device (IED) near the Pakistan-Iran border, the military's media wing said on Friday.
In a tweet, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the security personnel were returning from patrolling in Buleda — 14 kilometres from the Pakistan-Iran border — to "check possible routes used by terrorists in the mountainous terrain of Makran".
As they were returning, their vehicle was targeted with a remote controlled IED, it added.
The martyred were identified as Major Nadeem, Naik Jamshed, Lance Naik Khizar Hayat, Lance Naik Taimor, Sepoy Nadeem and Sepoy Sajid.
In December 2019, one FC soldier was martyred and two others were injured in an exchange of fire with terrorists after they raided an FC checkpost in North Waziristan.
"Terrorists raided an FC post in North Waziristan district near the Pak-Afghan border," an ISPR statement had said.
"During the exchange of fire, two terrorists were killed," it had added.

Can the army share details about who exactly were these terrorists? People should be informed about their background so they can keep an eye on such elements that may be present in the society. Perhaps, ISPR can create a website similar to that of Corona with numbers, names, pictures, background, links, etc. so that Pakistanis be more vigilant.

Pakistan has a capability to defeat its enemy. We have the best army and the best air force in the world. We have capacity to jam radar system of our enemy before locking their positions. IAF pilot Abhinandan was a demo for enemy.
