Officials in northwest Pakistan say militants attacked a military checkpoint Friday, killing seven soldiers and wounding three.

Authorities in the Kurram tribal region said 18 militants were killed when Pakistani forces retaliated.

The Associated Press reports that a force of 40 militants were involved in the attack.

This is the latest in a series of such clashes.
