Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has hideouts in the neighboring country, has reassembled since the pullout of foreign forces had begun in July.
It has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks on Pakistan’s military forces and the latest clash with the group near the Afghan border took the lives of 7 personnel.
A military press release said a raid was conducted on a suspected terrorist hideout in South Waziristan on Wednesday.
At least 5 terrorists were also killed in the crossfire.
TTP also confirmed the armed clash with the Pakistani armed forces later on Wednesday.
Last week, the militant group had carried out a suicide bombing in Quetta in which at least 3 FC personnel were martyred and 20 people got injured.
