Two security personnel were martyred as a security forces vehicle hit an IED in North Waziristan's Miramshah on Wednesday, security forces said.

According to sources, the forces vehicle was on its way from the Khajuri check-post to Khwar check-post when the blast occurred. Security forces sealed the area and started a search operation following the incident.

The attack occurred soon after at least seven policemen were killed in a blast on police vehicle in Quetta today.

In an attack last week, three Frontier Corps men had been martyred in the area.

Attacks on security forces in the area have been infrequent since Operation Zarb-i-Azb began in the area. Recently, it also hosted a cricket match between British journalists and a Pakistan XI side.
