First Day Of Ramadan: Another 30 Taliban Whacked In Failed Pakistan Attack
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Militants attacked a military base near the Afghan border Thursday, sparking a battle in which up to 30 insurgents died, the army said.
Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said nine soldiers were wounded in the fighting near Razmak, a town in the troubled South Waziristan region.
“There were repeated attacks, which were repelled. Nine of our soldiers were injured and we are hearing from local sources that militants suffered massive casualties,” Arshad told The Associated Press.
He said between 25 and 30 militants were killed and the military was trying to obtain more details.
Arshad, however, denied reports from three intelligence officials who said 10 soldiers had been killed. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
On Wednesday, Pakistani officials said army helicopters had killed an estimated 40 insurgents in an assault in North Waziristan.
