Islamists militants killed two Tunisian soldiers who were seeking to free a man kidnapped on Monday in a mountainous area near the border with Algeria, an army spokesman said.
Tunisia's army has been carrying out operations in the area after two major attacks this year claimed by Islamic State.
"Two soldiers have been killed and four others wounded after clashes in the Sammama mountains in Kasserine, in clashes with terrorists," spokesman Belhassen Ouuslati said.
"The forces were seeking to liberate a civilian man who was kidnapped by terrorists in Sammama mountains," he added, without identifying which group might be responsible. He also gave no further details about the kidnapping.
