The incident took place in the Lakki Marwat district, located on the edge of a lawless tribal region, divided by both sides of the border.

An improvised explosive device exploded near a military vehicle, killing seven soldiers, including an officer, the army specified in a statement.

*"The perpetrators of this atrocious act will be brought to justice,"* it specified.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility.

The tribal region has long been a safe haven for Islamist militants operating on both sides of the border.

An umbrella group of Islamist and sectarian militant groups called Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has waged a war against the state to try to overthrow the government. It seeks to lead Pakistan as an Islamic state governed by its own harsh interpretation of Islam.
