At least seven soldiers have been killed in Pakistan after militants attacked a military post in North Waziristan, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province that borders Afghanistan, Dawn reported.
"The terrorists rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the post, followed by multiple suicide bombing attacks, which led to the collapse of a portion of a building," Pakistan's military said.
Five soldiers were killed in the initial blast and another two in the ensuing gun battle.
The military said six attackers, some wearing bomb vests, were also killed in the firefight.
