Militants stormed a security outpost in ‌Pakistan’s northwest, ramming a vehicle filled with explosives into the camp before waging a gun battle that killed at least eight troops and injured 35 others, two security officials said on Friday. The bombing on Thursday night follows ​three militant attacks in recent days that have killed nearly 30 people and threatened ​to reignite fighting with neighbouring Afghanistan, which Pakistan blames for harbouring militant groups. ⁠The Taliban government in Kabul rejects the allegations. Images from the outpost, situated along the mountainous ​border with Afghanistan in Bajaur district, showed that much of the structure had been reduced to ​bricks and rubble, while parts of the remaining building were charred and blackened.
