Two soldiers killed in Waziristan: Officials
Militants attack military checkpost killing two soldiers in South Waziristan.
The attack took place in the Badar area, 30 kilometres (18 miles) north of Wana, the main town in South Waziristan district.
"Militants attacked a military checkpost today in South Waziristan and killed two soldiers," a senior security official in the area told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Another security official confirmed the attack and casualties. Pakistan launched a major ground and air offensive in South Waziristan last year to clear the area of the Tehreek-i-Taliban (TTP) faction, which has been blamed for some of the country's worst violence.
