Three Pakistani soldiers and five militants were killed, while four others were injured in an attempt to infiltrate Pakistani territory across the Afghan border. Radio Pakistan quoted a statement by the Pakistani army Tuesday as saying that nine militants tried to infiltrate across the border last night, but Pakistani forces confronted them and managed to eliminate them during an exchange of fire. Armed elements often attempt to infiltrate the land border between Pakistan and Afghanistan in both directions. The authorities in the two neighboring countries seek to control the borders through preemptive combing operations. Source: Qatar News Agency
