Peshawar, Pakistan: Eight soldiers were killed in northwest Pakistan, while seven policemen were briefly kidnapped in separate attacks, police and intelligence officials told AFP on Tuesday.
A Monday clash resulted in the deaths of "eight soldiers" and "nine militants" in the Tirah area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, an intelligence officer said on condition of anonymity.
The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) claimed responsibility.
In a separate incident in the same province, seven police officers were kidnapped from a checkpoint.
They were released Tuesday, following negotiations between a jirga -- or tribal council -- and the militants.
