PESHAWAR – Unidentified armed men attacked a security check post in a remotest bordering area in Landi Kotal Tehsil, killing 5 soldiers of Khasadar Force and local tribal levies and wounding 2 others, security officials said Thursday.
The suspected militants have carried a well-coordinated armed attack on a security check point of Khasadar Force in Prang Sang a far-flung area in Landi Kotal Tehsil at 4 kilometers distance from the Afghan border late night between Wednesday and Thursday.
“The attack was so sudden that the security forces could not counter it and 5 men of tribal levies were killed and two other sustained injuries,” a political administration official told Pakistan Today, asking not to be named.
The official said the security guards were not ready and the attackers opened fire at them. The injured were shifted to Peshawar from Landi Kotal.
