PESHAWAR: Dozens of heavily armed Taliban militants attacked a Pakistani military post on Tuesday, sparking a clash that killed seven soldiers and wounded another 10, the military said.
Moreover, sources told FTNews that 25 militants were also killed in the clash that took place in Kurram tribal region’s Jogi village.
Independent confirmation of the death toll was not immediately possible as the lawless tribal region is barred for journalists.
In July last year Pakistan launched an offensive in Kurram district to evict militants. Kurram lies near the Afghan border and has also been the scene of sectarian clashes. — AFP/FTNews
