(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) Security forces foiled an infiltration attempt near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Khyber District's Rajgal area, killing four militants in a decisive operation, the military's public relations wing, ISPR, reported.

The incident occurred during the night of December 19-20 when security forces detected suspicious movement of a militant group near the border. A heavy exchange of fire ensued, resulting in the elimination of the militants.

Tragically, 22-year-old Sepoy Aamir Sohail Afridi, a brave soldier hailing from Khyber District, embraced martyrdom during the operation. He leaves behind grieving parents and siblings.
