Gunmen kill two soldiers in SW Pakistan

The incident took place on Sunday when armed men attacked a security checkpoint in the Rado area of Balochistan’s Awaran district.

The gunmen managed to escape from the scene.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

On Saturday, 38 militants and three anti-Taliban militiamen were killed in clashes in the northwestern Tirrah valley of the Khyber tribal district.

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants and associated groups have carried out numerous attacks on security forces as well as civilians.

Over 35,000 Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001 when Pakistan joined an alliance with the United States in the so-called war against terrorism, according to local media.

Since late 2009, there has been a surge in militant attacks in Pakistan and thousands more have been displaced by the wave of violence and militancy sweeping across the country.
