A group of militants attacked a security forces’ post in Mir Ali area of the restive North Waziristan district, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military’s media wing.

The militants rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the post that led to the collapse of part of the security post building, killing five soldiers.

Pakistani troops effectively engaged the attackers and killed all of them in an ensuing clearance operation.
