PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan’s army says militants killed six soldiers in a shootout in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan where armed groups including the Pakistani Taliban are active. Also Saturday, cellphone services remained suspended in Islamabad as it entered a second day of a lockdown aimed at thwarting rallies in support of ex-leader Imran Khan. He is in prison on multiple charges. Shipping containers blocked off the city’s entry and exit points, but videos from Khan’s party showed supporters piled into vehicles and attempted to head toward Islamabad.
