The Pakistani Taliban claimed a brazen overnight raid on an army outpost near the border with Afghanistan, on Saturday, which intelligence officials said killed 16 soldiers and critically wounded five more.
ISLAMABAD:
The siege started after midnight and lasted about two hours as around 30 militants pummelled the mountainous outpost from three sides, one senior intelligence official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"Sixteen soldiers were martyred and five were critically injured in the assault," he said. "The militants set fire to the wireless communication equipment, documents and other items present at the checkpoint."
