Two Pakistan Army soldiers were killed in Harnai, Balochistan during a gun battle with terrorists, the Pakistan military’s media affairs wing said on Sunday.

In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said terrorists fire raided a security forces post in Harnai’s Khost area late Saturday night which was successfully repulsed by soldiers, Dawn reported.

The armed attackers attempted to flee after ambushing the forces, the ISPR said.

“The escaping terrorists were pursued into the nearby mountains and an exchange of heavy fire ensued,” it said.
