The militants, whose exact number could not be identified, attacked a military check post in the Zangarra village of Ladha in South Waziristan.
“Four militants were killed when the security men retaliated. There were no casualties amongst the soldiers,” an intelligence official from the area said.
The identities of those killed were not immediately verified, said the official.
The area is close to North Waziristan agency and a highly-rugged terrain influenced by the Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP).
