Islamabad, May 13: Up to seven Afghan troops were killed in a clash with Pakistani border forces today, the Pakistani military said.

Pakistan military spokesman Major-General Waheed Arshad said Afghan troops opened ''unprovoked firing'' on five to six border posts in the Kurram tribal region in northwest Pakistan. Pakistani paramilitary forces retaliated, he said.

''We have reports six to seven of their troops have been killed. Three of our soldiers have been wounded,'' Arshad said.
