Two soldiers in the Pakistan Army were killed in a clash with terrorists in Lakki Marwat district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The slain terrorists were involved in many terrorist activities. The incident follows a separate attack on a police checkpost in Kohat district in which three policemen and a civilian were killed. These incidents highlight a recent surge in terror activities across the country, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces. Various political figures have condemned the attacks and called for the implementation of the National Action Plan to address terrorism in the country.
