At least seven Frontier Corps personnel were killed in terrorists’ firing at Angoor Adh checkpost in South Waziristan located on Afghan border on Tuesday, ISPR said.
“The terrorists opened heavy fire from across the Pak-Afghan border early on Tuesday,” said ISPR.
According to the ISPR, troops have been deployed along the border with neighbouring agencies to block any movement of terrorists in and out of the region.
North and South Waziristan are among Pakistan’s seven tribal districts near the Afghan border which are rife with homegrown insurgents and are alleged to be strongholds of Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, among others.
The Angoor Adda check post was also attacked by Afghan forces and militants in past.
