Frontier Constabulary, the ISPR said. In the ensuing fire exchange, six of them were killed too, it added. The injured persons have been shifted to a local hospital.
Twelve security personnel and six terrorists were killed when a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into a joint checkpost in Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the army said on Wednesday.
The terrorists attempted to attack a joint check post in MaliKhel of Bannu district late on Tuesday night, but their attempt to enter the post was effectively thwarted by troops, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the army's media wing, said.
The suicide blast led to the collapse of a portion of the perimeter wall and damaged the adjoining infrastructure, resulting in the death of “12 brave sons of soil”, including 10 soldiers of the security forces and two soldiers of the Frontier Constabulary, the ISPR said. In the ensuing fire exchange, six of them were killed too, it added. The injured persons have been shifted to a local hospital.
