In the latest wave of unrest in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, militants engaged in a shootout with Pakistani soldiers, resulting in the deaths of six soldiers. The incident took place during an overnight operation in North Waziristan, where six militants were also killed, according to a statement released by the army.
Simultaneously, a separate operation in Swat led to the killing of two militants, one of whom was reportedly involved in an attack on a convoy of foreign ambassadors earlier this month.
