Militants attacked troops deployed in Khyber Agency on Friday and the ensuing fighting left three soldiers and seven militants dead, security officials said. “At least three soldiers were martyred and three others were wounded after militants attacked them in Malik Dinkhel area of Khyber,” a senior security official told AFP. Seven militants were also killed in the fighting, he added. Some 18,000 people fled their homes in Khyber in October last year amid fears of a fresh onslaught of fighting between the army and militants.
