Islamabad : One paramilitary soldier was killed and another injured on Thursday when pro-Taliban militants targeted a security checkpoint in Pakistan’s restive north-west Swat district, the military said.
The rebels attacked a post jointly manned by local police and Frontier Corps troops in the Kabal area at around 2:30am (2130 GMT Wednesday), a security official told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
“The security forces suffered casualties when the militants fired a rocket-propelled grenade during the gunfight,” the official said.
There were no reports of any rebel being killed or injured in the crossfire.
