A roadside bomb has hit a paramilitary convoy in north-west Pakistan, killing seven soldiers, officials say.

The attack happened as the convoy passed through a bazaar in Bara, a town in the Khyber tribal area.

Two other soldiers were wounded.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the military is battling the Pakistani Taliban and their allies in Khyber.
