Rawalpindi: Two soldiers died during an exchange of fire with terrorists in Singwan area (Dist Kech) of Balochistan along the Pakistan-Iran border, media reports said.

When a group of terrorists attacked the security post, the troops retaliated and pushed them back, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Thursday as quoted by The News International.

During the exchange of fire, Sepoy Hasnain Ishtiaq, 34, and Sepoy Inayat Ullah, 27, embraced Shahadat, the newspaper reported.

The security forces launched a snap sanitisation operation in the area and were in communication with the Iranian authorities to deny the terrorists any opportunity to escape.
