MojNews_Five suspected terrorists and two army soldiers were killed in a clash in Pakistan’s restive North Waziristan region on Thursday.

The clash occurred in North Waziristan&#۳۹;s Dattakhel area, near the border with Afghanistan, during a raid on a hideout and resulted in the death of two troops, the Pakistani Army &#۳۹;s media wing said in a statement.

The raid came a day after Pakistan closed a key border crossing after suspected militants fired two rockets at troops from across the border.
