KOHAT, Oct 15: At least two security personnel were killed and six others injured in a mortar attack on a checkpost near Darra Adamkhel on Tuesday night.

Militants launched the attack at the Spina Thana checkpost which serves as a base camp of troops engaged in the operation in Darra Adamkhel.

Several mortars exploded inside the checkpost. The checkpost has been a soft target for militants because of its vulnerable location.—Correspondent
