One killed in attack on security forces near Peshawar
PESHAWAR: A member of the security forces was killed in an attack on the border between Peshawar and Khyber Agency.

Militants opened fire on a security forces convoy on Frontier Road. The attack left a security forces vehicle badly damaged claiming the life of one and injuring two other personnel. The injured have been shifted to CMH Peshawar.

A curfew imposed in the area after security forces targeted a local militant commander and four of his companions had been lifted today.


Earlier on Friday, militants claimed to have attacked a military camp after which an arms depot caught fire in Landi Kotal in Khyber Agency. Military sources denied that the camp had been attacked stating that the arms depot accidentally caught fire.
