Four soldiers killed in Kurram blast

Four soldiers killed in Kurram blast
HANGU: At least four security men were killed in an explosion targeting a convoy of security forces in Warmagai area of Kurram tribal region on Tuesday.

The blast site was cordoned off by security forces as a probe into the incident went underway.

Security and rescue teams reached the blast site and shifted the victims to a nearby hospital. The security forces' vehicle was destroyed in the blast.

Kurram is one of the most sensitive tribal areas as it borders three Afghan provinces and at one point was one of the key routes for militant movement across the border.

Kurram tribal agency is adjacent to North Waziristan region where the operation Zarb-i-Azb is in progress against Taliban and other insurgent groups.

The region was claimed by the military to have been cleared of insurgents during an operation a couple of years ago, however, militants still carry out sectarian attacks and also target security forces occasionally.
