Security Officials have disclosed that a roadside bomb blast in Pakistan’s North Waziristan on Monday killed two soldiers and injured another one.
The officials told local media that the soldiers were patrolling in the Mir Ali area of the district when their vehicle struck with an improvised explosive device.
Following the attack, security forces have cordoned off the area and started search operation in the surrounding areas. No group or individual claimed the attack yet.
Pakistani military has conducted a series of operations against terrorist groups, including the Pakistani Taliban, in North Waziristan over recent years. Although the area has mostly been pacified, remnants of the terrorist groups still manage to launch attacks on the security forces.
