An area domination patrol from Aboi Company Operating Base was taken out for an operational task, and after completion of task, while the patrol was returning back to Aboi, at around 3.05 pm, three kms South of Aboi town, the leading vehicle came under IED blast and was fired upon by the terrorists.
