Pakistan's military says 2 soldiers killed in militant attack near border with Iran

The Hindu  

Militants attacked a Pakistani security post near the country's border with Iran on Thursday, triggering a shootout that killed two soldiers, the military said. The military said the two slain troops “embraced martyrdom while fighting bravely against the terrorists.” The military launched a search and Iranian authorities were alerted to watch for the assailants trying to escape, the statement said. The Iranian Embassy in the Pakistani capital condemned the attack and expressed condolences to the families of the two soldiers. In a post on Twitter, it urged for cooperation between the two neighboring countries "to combat terrorism.” Last month, five Iranian border guards were killed in a clash with an unknown armed group near the Pakistani border.
