At least 25 pro-Taliban fighters and two Pakistani soldiers have been killed in clashes in a tribal region along the Afghan border, government officials say.
The fighting erupted late on Wednesday in the Loi Sum area in Bajaur, a reputed sanctuary for al-Qaeda and the Taliban fighters.
"We have reports of 25 militants. Two paramilitary soldiers were also killed and three wounded," a senior government official told the Reuters news agency on condition of anonymity.
Swat valley violence
Pakistan's army had announced on Monday that it killed 94 pro-Taliban fighters and lost 14 soldiers in gun battles in the northwestern Swat valley area during the previous week.

Fierce fighting erupted in the former tourist region a week ago, ending a fragile peace deal signed in May between the government and the fighters.
Fighters have threatened to launch suicide attacks across the country if the military failed to halt their operations against followers of Maulana Fazlullah, the Pakistan Taliban's leader in Swat who carries a four million rupee ($56,000) bounty on his head.
Hundreds of residents have fled their homes in Swat in the wake of violent clashes, witnesses said.
