TIRAH: Two personnel of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) were injured in Khyber Agency when a suicide bomber blew himself up while attempting to target a security check post on Friday morning.

Security officials said two suicide bombers attempted to attack the FC post in Tirah from the main gate but were shot at by guards. 

As a result, one suspected suicide bomber was killed in the firing while the other blew himself up, injuring two officials. 

In March this year, two FC were martyred in an attack on an FC check post in the tribal agency.

Pakistan Army effectively responded to the aggression and killed six terrorists in retaliatory fire, the military?s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement later.

Two FC personnel embraced martyrdom in the attack which was carried out from across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the ISPR stated.

Pakistan has repeatedly protested that terrorists are taking advantage of the turmoil in Afghanistan and using Afghan soil to orchestrate terrorist attacks in Pakistan. 

The Pakistan Army last month also launched multiple strikes across the border targetting terrorist hideouts in retaliation to the aggression.
