The Pakistan Taliban have claimed responsibility, saying the attack is in retaliation to a US drone strike in neighbouring last month, which killed two commanders.

Officials said nine soldiers and four members of the Frontier Constabulary that polices the area, died during the initial assault and subsequent crossfire.

Ten civilians - including three women and three children - were killed in a rocket attack on a house next to the camp.
