The statement explained that though no Immigration officer was harmed in the attack, the Service, however, recorded significant damage to its border facilities.

NIS expressed its heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and emphasised that it was working closely with other security agencies to track down and bring the perpetrators to justice.

NIS reaffirmed its commitment to its core mission of ensuring border security and supporting national security efforts.
