Found this at DAWN seems there has been a firefight on the Afhgan-Pakistan border near Shakai valley today .

Troops, militants exchange fire near Afghan border: WANA, July 11: Militants today opened fire on Pakistani troops in Shakai valley near the Afghan border where suspected Al-Qaeda fugitives were believed to be hiding, officials said. The soldiers responded and the exchange of fire continued for some time, a local official said. Residents said exchange of heavy weapons fire continued late after some military posts near Shakai valley, 25 kilometers (15 miles) from South Waziristan's main town of Wana came under attack. The military confirmed the attack but said there were no troop casualties. (APP) (Posted @ 22:35 PST)
