[ASKardar]

Three soldiers were martyred on Saturday during a search operation by security forces in South Waziristan, the military's media wing said.

According to a statement by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the three soldiers were martyred as terrorists fired at security forces' blocking position during the operation.

The martyred soldiers were identified as Subedar Nadeem, Sepoy Saleem and Lance Naik Musawar.

Four other soliders were also injured.

In June, two soldiers were martyred and one terrorist was killed during an exchange of fire between a patrolling party of the security forces and a group of terrorists.

A statement from the ISPR said that the attack by terrorists took place 5 kilometres southeast of Ghariom near North Waziristan District and South Waziristan District boundary.

"Captain Sabih and Sepoy Naveed embraced shahadat; while two other soldiers sustained injuries during the incident," read the official statement issued by the military's media wing.

Force protection remains a problem. I don't know whose heads will roll but either the tactics are at fault or planning, in either case such casualties cannot be allowed to be sustained in the name of "Watan ki baqa ki khatir shaheed ho gae". On a monthly basis, the Army and the FC have been losing people in twos, threes and fours in such IBOs. If these are IBO's then the bloody terrorists should be surprised instead of the Army.

If 3 were martyred and 4 WIA, that is 3/4 of a section (~10 or so personnel in a section) put out of commission by the terrorists.

There is clear flaw in training, tactics and intelligence...

I don't see any flaw in training and tactics but as far as intelligence is concerned, they need equipment for final surveillance just before action.

A rather harsh verdict from your side, I must say.

Seems like the terrorists had better intelligence on the patrol units.

get drones for search operation and then use MRAPs and element of surprise to attack
