ISLAMABAD,/Xinhua:One soldier was killed in a roadside blast in Pakistan's northwest tribal district of North Waziristan, the Pakistani military said in a statement on Saturday evening.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan army, an improvised explosive device exploded near a check post in North Waziristan, a district in the country's northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which borders Afghanistan.

A soldier of the Pakistan army lost his life in the attack, said the ISPR, adding that the security forces cordoned off the area for clearance operation.

No group or individual has claimed the attack yet.

Pakistani security forces have been conducting clearance operations to eliminate the remnants of the terrorist outfits in the region.

Earlier on Monday, the Pakistani military said at least five terrorists, including a high profile commander, were killed in an intelligence-based operation by the security forces in North Waziristan. The military also claimed to have arrested 10 other terrorists during the operation.
