Three soldiers injured in attacks in Waziristan
At least three soldiers suffered injuries in separate incidents in North Waziristan Agency on Friday, sources said. An official said militants attacked an army convoy with two remote-controlled bombs on Friday in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, injuring a jawan and destroying two vehicles, sources said. The convoy was going to Razmak when it came under attack at Tall checkpost, 20 kilometers south of Miranshah. The official added that the security forces fired six artillery shells in retaliation from the army camp, but no casualties were reported. The security forces also ordered residents of three villages in Mirpur to vacate the areas. However, they did not comply with the orders and the security forces had to fire artillery shells to force them to desert their houses. There were no reports of any casualties. Another army convoy at Mana army camp in the Shawaal area also came under attack. Two jawans were wounded and later airlifted to the Bannu Combined Military Hospital (CMH).
