Three personnel were martyred during a fire exchange after a terrorist attack last night on a Rangers facility in Karachi was “decisively foiled”, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday.

The attack on the Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) Camp, located in Gulistan-i-Jauhar, was carried out by terrorists “belonging to Indian proxy, Jamaat ul Ahrar”, the ISPR said in a statement.

The military’s media affairs wing added: “The assailants, after a blast at [the] main gate of the Camp, attempted to breach the perimeter security.

“However, their nefarious designs were decisively foiled by the vigilant and resolute response of Rangers troops, eliminating three kharijis and capturing one khariji, who is an Afghan national, in injured condition.”
