Four Pakistani soldiers were killed in a terrorist attack on a security forces camp in North Waziristan’s Boa area, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed on Friday. Militants identified as members of the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), referred to locally as 'Fitna al-Khariji,' launched the assault using an explosives-laden vehicle after failing to breach the camp’s outer defenses.

The explosion caused the collapse of the camp’s wall, damaging a nearby mosque and civilian infrastructure. Fifteen civilians, including women and children, were seriously injured. The ISPR named the fallen soldiers and stated that the attackers were allegedly supported from across the Afghan border. Pakistan urged the Taliban-led Afghan government to prevent its territory from being used by anti-Pakistan militants.

The incident underscores ongoing cross-border security tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, as Islamabad continues to face escalating militant violence in its northwestern tribal regions. Analysts warn that failure to curb such attacks could further strain bilateral relations and destabilize the border areas.
