Three soldiers killed in Waziristan blast

ISLAMABAD:

A roadside bomb exploded in the North Waziristan tribal agency, killing at least three soldiers, the military said.

The attack occurred in an area on the border of South and North Waziristan tribal regions where the military has been battling Taliban and al Qaeda-linked militants.

“At least three security forces personnel, including an officer embraced shahadat (martyrdom) and three others sustained critical injuries after an improvised explosive device planted by terrorists along the road went off,” the military said in a statement.

Nobody has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
