Ten Pakistani servicemen were injured during an exchange of fire with the gunmen, Bajwal said.
A search operation for other members of the terrorist group who managed to flee is currently underway, he added.
Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an umbrella organization of various Islamist militant groups based in northwestern Pakistan, along the Afghan border, claimed responsibility for the attack, the Pakistani Dawn newspaper reported, citing TTP spokesman Muhammad Khurasani.
