Militants killed two soldiers and wounded three others on Wednesday in a cross-border attack on Pakistani checkpoints situated along the troubled frontier with Afghanistan, officials said.
The posts came under fire from the Afghan side early on Wednesday morning in the Manozangal and Mukha Tops areas of the Bajaur tribal region, one of seven such districts bordering Afghanistan.
The incident came four days after up to 200 militants from across the border attacked a group of Pakistani posts in the same region. "Terrorists from across the border fired on Pakistani border posts at Manozangal and Mukha Tops", a senior security official told AFP. "Two soldiers embraced shahadat (martyrdom) and three others including an officer were injured," he added.
