3 soldiers injured in IED blast in Pakistan

At least three Pakistani soldiers were injured today in an IED blast in the restive North Waziristan Agency, the second such attack on security forces within a week.

According to military officials, the blast took place near Khajuri.

On Thursday, at least nine soldiers were killed and several others injured when an IED exploded near their convoy in North Waziristan.

The attacks came amid the ongoing peace talks between the government and the Taliban.

In another attack, one security personnel was killed after a military checkpost came under attack in South Waziristan the same day.
