Pakistan troops 'die on border'


At least 18 people are reported to have been killed in clashes on the Pakistan-Afghan border.

Ten of the dead were Pakistani troops, unnamed officials said. Reports said some of the troops may have died in an air strike by US or Nato-led forces.

Eight Taleban militants were also killed in the fighting, a Taleban spokesman said.

None of the Pakistani, Afghan or US militaries, or Nato, have not yet officially commented on the incident.

The soldiers' deaths are reported to have occurred at a border post in the Mohmand region, one of Pakistan's tribal areas, opposite Afghanistan's Kunar province, late on Tuesday.
