8 soldies martyred in Bannu Cantonment attack; 10 terrorists eliminated

Pakistan military’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) released a statement today about a foiled terroist attack at Bannu Cantonment in which at least eight Pakistan Army soldiers embraced martyrdom.

The ISPR said that the terrorists attacked the Bannu Cantonment in the early hours of July 15, but their attempt to enter the facility was effectively thwarted by the security forces personnel.

Following their failure to enter the premises, the militants rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the perimeter wall of the cantonment, said the ISPR.

Ten militants were killed in the attack while the attack was carried out by the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operating from Afghanistan, according to military’s media wing.
