Three Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred in an exchange of fire with militants in the North Waziristan tribal district, the military s media wing said on Thursday.
Meanwhile, another soldier was martyred in an exchange of fire with Indian troops from across the Line of Control (LoC), it added.
In the first incident, security forces carried out two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) on terrorist hideouts in North Waziristan. Two suspected terrorists including an IED (improvised explosive device) expert were killed in the raids, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
