Militants attack Pakistani post near Afghan border

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A group of militants attacked a Pakistan army post from neighboring Afghanistan Tuesday morning, sparking a shootout that left 11 insurgents and three soldiers killed, the military said, as government warplanes killed 20 local militants elsewhere in the northwest.

“A group of terrorists” crossed over from Afghanistan and attacked the army’s Dandi Kuch post in North Waziristan before fleeing back, the military said in a statement. Three soldiers were “martyred” in the fighting, it said.
