Pakistan says troops kill 33 militants crossing from Afghanistan
KARACHI, Pakistan -Pakistani security forces killed 33 militants trying to cross from Afghanistan overnight, the military said on Friday, describing them as "Indian-sponsored".
The fighters were intercepted and engaged with "precise" fire, the military's public relations wing said, adding that weapons, ammunition and explosives were recovered.
Pakistan and India, nuclear-armed neighbours with a history of conflict, often accuse each other of backing insurgents. New Delhi denies supporting militants in Pakistan.
