The attack was successfully repulsed by the 5 soldiers, though the 4 soldiers were martyred in the 1st go, one warrior Major Zia ul Haq kept on firing his machine gun, resulting into the death of more than a hundred of the miscreants and as many injured. After the limited ammunition with Major Zia was finished he sent to hell many bastard miscreants during the face to face fight he was hit by a bullet in his chest still he seized a gun and embraced shahadat while sending many other terrorists to hell.
According to an eye witness by the end of fight, more than 80+ terrorists were killed. Terrorists spokes man accepted 65 on media. This was the only Battle in Swat where so many terrorists were killed in one night and about 75 dead bodies of terrorists were scattered around Maj Zia ul Haque’s command post.
