At least 10 Pakistani soldiers were injured, three of them seriously, when a suicide bomber attacked a convoy of security forces in the North Waziristan district on Tuesday morning.

According to officials, the convoy was going from Mirali to Miramshah, the district headquarters when a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle blew himself up near one of the vehicles.

The attack was carried out near the Khadi market in Mirali.

The three seriously injured personnel have been shifted to a military hospital in Bannu garrison.

Soon after the attack, security forces cordoned off the area and launched a massive hunt to capture the suicide bomber’s accomplices.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
