Three Pakistani soldiers died and three civilians were injured when a suicide bomber exploded himself in the general area of Miran Shah in Pakistan's North Waziristan District, media reports said on Friday.
Naib Subedar Sahib Khan (age 41 years, resident of Mianwali), Naik Muhammad Ibrahim (age 40 years, resident of Dera Ismail Khan) and Sepoy Jahangir Khan (age 24 years, resident of Mardan) embraced Shahadat while three innocent civilians got critically injured, reports The News International.
The suicide bomber intended targeting the security forces’ post; however, timely interception of the suicide bomber on suspicion by on-duty soldiers prevented a major catastrophe, the Pakistani newspaper reported.
Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif has expressed sadness over the incident.
