Suicide attack near Afghan border kills 7 Pakistani soldiers: Officials

PESHAWAR: Seven Pak soldiers were killed in a suicide attack near the Afghanistan border on Friday, Pakistani security officials said, as a temporary truce that paused days of intense fighting ended without any word on its extension.

The seven soldiers were killed in an attack by militants on a Pakistani military camp in north Waziristan, which also left 13 injured, security officials said.

While one militant rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the boundary wall of a fort that served as a military camp, two others tried to get into the facility and were shot dead, they said.
