FATA: Terrorists opened fire from across the Afghan border at a Pakistani border post in Khyber Agency in the wee hours of Frid
ay.
A press release issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), in reaction to this incident, stated that Pakistan arm
y returned fire across the border and militant casualties were reported by source
s while a few soldiers sustained minor injuries.
The Pak-Afghan border was sh
utdown by the ISPR with immediate effect and it would be kept closed until further notice due to security concerns after a bomb ripped apart a Shrine in Sindh claiming several innocent lives.
This move comes after Pakistan was hit by a blast for the 5th time in
less than a week.
