Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) -- a separate movement that shares common roots with the militants that took power in Afghanistan in August -- said the army raid was on a "centre" for its group.
Four soldiers were killed in a firefight with the Pakistani Taliban, the country's army said Friday, in the deadliest confrontation between the militants and security forces since a truce was called off earlier this month.
Security forces were raiding suspected hideouts in the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan when four soldiers were killed "during an intense exchange of fire", an army statement said.
One "terrorist" was arrested with weapons and ammunition, it added.
