Tragically, during the attack two innocent civilian employees identified as 35-year-old Muhammad Faisal and 29-year-old Asif Kamran, both residents of district Karak, embraced martyrdom. Additionally, Sepoy Syed Muhammad Shaheen Shah, 33 years old, hailing from district Hangu deployed for the project’s security, fought bravely but succumbed to the attack and embraced martyrdom.
