The army said it retaliated and killed two or three attackers, Asif Shahzad reported for Reuters.

The incident in Pakistan's Bajaur district is the first of its kind reported since the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

Pakistan has been grappling with the Taliban in the country, which has been blamed for several attacks, as well as the Islamic State and the Al-Qaida, whose members have been crisscrossing the border with Afghanistan for so many years.
