Pakistan's military has revealed that Monday's attack on a checkpoint in the country's Bajur district killed 11 security personnel and wounded seven civilians.
According to the military, the attackers had rammed a vehicle filled with explosives into the checkpoint along the Afghan border after security forces blocked their attempt to enter a residential compound for soldiers.
Authorities added that a baby died in the incident.
Twelve attackers were killed as they attempted to flee the scene, officials said.
Terror group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has claimed responsibility for the attack. The group has stepped up its attacks since it revoked a ceasefire with Islamabad in late 2022.
Pakistan blames Afghanistan for providing a safe haven to terrorists, a charge Kabul's Taliban government has repeatedly denied.
