At Least 9 Pakistanis Injured in Mortar Attack Along Afghan Border


Pakistani security officials say at least seven soldiers and two civilians have been injured in a mortar attack from across the border in Afghanistan.

Official say the mortars struck a Frontier Corps paramilitary post and village market late Thursday in the Angoor Ada area of South Waziristan -- a tribal region in northwestern Pakistan.

Security officials say the attack took place after Taliban militants attacked a U.S. coalition base on the Afghan side of the border. U.S. officials have not commented on the reported strike.

In June, a U.S. airstrike on a border post killed 11 Pakistani troops. The Pakistani military sharply criticized the attack.
