Paramilitary forces have raided a militant hideout in Pakistan’s rugged tribal region near the Afghan border, sparking fighting that killed nine soldiers and 14 insurgents, officials said.
Clashes are common in the area, but the death toll from the fighting Monday was unusually high on the Pakistani side.
The raid took place in Akka Khel village in the Khyber tribal area, said Farooq Khan, a senior local government official.
