Pakistani troops kill 33 militants crossing from Afghanistan
—————————-
Pakistani security forces neutralized 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 announced, adding that weapons, ammunition and explosives were recovered.

Pakistan and India, nuclear-armed neighbors with a history of conflict, often accuse each other of backing insurgents. New Delhi denies supporting militants in Pakistan.
