Explosions kills four troopers in Pakistan

Islamabad, Oct 15 : Explosions hit a military check post in Pakistan's northwest tribal area of Kurram Agency on Sunday, leaving at least four soldiers killed and two others injured, a media report said.

The explosions were reportedly triggered by about three landmines at the check post in the semi-autonomous Kurram Agency located along Pakistan-Afghanistan border, according to the Dawn.

Security forces cordoned off the area and kicked off a search operation to hunt down the attackers. The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital. No group or person has claimed the attack yet.

The blast came a few days after the Pakistan Army recovered a Canadian-American family in the agency from the custody of the Taliban.
