Seven servicemen from the fringe army of Pakistan were killed, and five others were injured as a result of the explosion of an improvised explosive device aimed at a military convoy.
"This cowardly act of terrorism does not weaken our resolve to fight extremist elements and eliminate their roots," said an official representative of the military department.
Experts assessed that the explosion was too powerful and had unspecified consequences for the lives and health of the servicemen present in the convoy.
The authorities have begun an investigation aimed at establishing the circumstances and detaining those involved in this incident.
