ISLAMABAD, March 22 (Xinhua) -- A senior officer of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency was killed in a clash with terrorists in the northwestern tribal district of South Waziristan, the Pakistan Army has said.

The intense fire was exchanged between the two sides in the Angoor Adda area of the district bordering Afghanistan, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the army, said in a statement on Tuesday evening.

Seven soldiers were also injured during the fight, the ISPR said, adding that the death toll might further rise as two of the injured are in critical condition.

Earlier in the day, the ISPR said that three soldiers and three terrorists were killed during a terrorist attack at a check post in the Dera Ismail Khan district of the country's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday night. Enditem
