Troops kill 30 militants attempting to sneak into Pakistan from Afghanistan

Pakistan's military says security forces killed 30 militants who attempted to enter the country from Afghanistan. It said the members of the Pakistani Taliban were spotted overnight in the North Waziristan district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and the troops seized weapons, ammunition and explosives from the militants. The military alleged the militants were backed by India and asked the Afghan government to prevent the use of its territory to attack Pakistan. There was no immediate comment from New Delhi. Pakistani authorities often accuse India of backing outlawed groups who commit violence in Pakistan. Tensions between the countries have increased since a shooting in Indian-controlled Kashmir in April.
