A suicide bomber, supported by armed militants, targeted a security checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan overnight, killing 15 security personnel, the military said on Friday.

In a statement, the military said troops repelled the assault in the Tank district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The attackers attempted to storm the checkpoint before ramming an explosives-laden vehicle into its perimeter wall, causing a powerful blast that severely damaged the site.
