The paramilitary troops from the Frontier Corps came under gunfire in Dosli area of the North Waziristan Agency, a semi-autonomous tribal area along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, Dunya News reported.
The outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attackers fled from the scene after the attack. Meanwhile, a heavy contingent of security forces rushed to the attack site, imposed curfew and kicked off a search operation.
The injured security personnel were shifted to a hospital in the agency's headquarter Miran Shah where some of them were said to be in critical condition.
The number of terror attacks in North Waziristan, once a hotbed of the militants, has fallen drastically following a military offensive, Zarb-e-Azb. But the militants still carry out sporadic attacks on security forces in the area.
