MIRANSHAH: At least 24 Pakistani security men were killed and 29 others were injured Saturday when a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-packed car into their convoy in a remote tribal region near the Afghan border, the ISPR sources said.
The convoy was heading to Miranshah, the main town of the North Waziristan tribal district, when the bomber attacked it at around 11:30 am (0630 GMT), Director General ISPR Major General Waheed Arshad said.
"The number of soldiers martyred in the attack has risen to 24," Arshad said, updating earlier reports. "Twenty-nine soldiers were wounded.
"More bodies were recovered from the badly mangled wreckage of the vehicles which were hit in the suicide attack."
The soldiers who were martyred in the attack belong to FC, he said. The injured soldiers have been shifted to CMH Bannu.
Security forces have started investigations of the incident. |
