Pakistan, Dec. 19 -- Four militants were killed after attacking a security forces' camp in the Boya area of North Waziristan on Friday, officials said. The assailants reportedly managed to breach the camp perimeter and opened fire, prompting a swift response from security personnel. In the ensuing exchange, all four attackers were neutralised, while four security personnel sustained injuries.

Initial reports suggested the militants may have used an explosives-laden vehicle or suicide jackets to carry out the attack. The powerful blast was reportedly heard as far as Miranshah, approximately 25 kilometres away. Security forces immediately cordoned off the area and launched a clearance operation to ensure the site was secure.
