Soldier killed in Afghan attack on Pak check-post: "A soldier was killed and seven others sustained injuries, some seriously, when the Nato and Afghan forces fired mortar shells at the Bangidar security checkpost in North Waziristan Agency (NWA) on Wednesday, official and tribal sources said.

The sources said Nato and Afghan forces from the neighbouring Khost province in Afghanistan fired dozens of mortar shells at the security checkpost in Bangidar, a remote border area in North Waziristan.

One soldier was killed and seven others sustained injuries after several shells struck the checkpost.The sources added that some of the injured were in critical condition and shifted to a hospital. The structure of the checkpost was also damaged.

Pakistani forces returned the fire with artillery and rocket launchers and targeted the Nato and Afghan forces’ positions across the border. However, the report about the casualties or destruction to property could not be confirmed as the Pak-Afghan route remained closed during the border clash."
