At least twelve terrorists were killed and several others injured when security forces repulsed an attack on a check-post in Lower Kurram Agency’s Mangaro area near the Pak-Afghan border this morning.
Nearly fifty terrorists from Afghanistan sneaked into Pakistani territory around early morning and attacked the check-post with heavy weapons.
Security forces strongly retaliated and killed fourteen militants on the spot and injured several others. Other militants fled under the cover of darkness.
Security forces suffered no casualties in the attack, a government administrator said.
