At least 12 soldiers and six terrorists were killed in a clash between security forces and militants in Bannu district of Pakistan's northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province the military said.
The fighting took place in Bannu’s Mali Khel area where terrorists “attempted to attack a joint check post” of the Pakistani army and paramilitary troops Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The latest attack triggered an exchange of fire in which six terrorists were gunned down and the attempt to enter the post effectively thwarted by troops forcing the terrorists to detonate an explosives-laden vehicle at the post’s perimeter wall.
