11 soldiers, 24 militants killed in NW Pakistan: Official
PESHAWAR: The number of soldiers killed Friday when about 150 militants attacked five paramilitary checkpoints in northwest Pakistan has risen to 11, a top administration official said.
At least 24 militants were also killed in the fighting near the Afghan border, Amjad Ali Khan, the administrator of lawless Mohmand tribal district told reporters at a press conference in the main town, Ghalanai.
"The death toll has risen. At least 11 of our men have been martyred and 12 others wounded," Khan said.
Security officials earlier said at least three soliders had been killed in the attack.
Khan said that at least 24 militants were killed when paramilitary soldiers "befittingly repulsed" the attack at five checkpoints near the Afghan border.
