At least five security personnel were killed and three were injured in a suicide attack at Bowia checkpost in North Waziristan on Thursday.
According to security officials, the suicide bomber ran an explosives-laden vehicle into the security checkpost, leaving five security personnel dead. At least three others were seriously injured, they added.
Only a few days back, terrorists targeted a security forces convoy in the same agency, killing four security personnel.
It was not known exactly who was involved in Thursday’s attack, but in the past Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has been behind such incidents and claimed responsibility.
Waziristan lies in the northwestern semi-autonomous tribal belt area, which the US considers the main hub for Taliban and al Qaeda.
