KHYBER AGENCY (Web Desk) – Marking a huge success in operation Khyber 2, security forces killed at least six terrorists and injured several others during airstrikes in Tirah Valley of Khyber tribal region on Saturday, Dunya News reported.
According to details, the operation was carried out in the areas of Rajgal, Kandu and Kok Khel.
Air and ground offensive of security forces continues against the terrorists in which several hideouts have also been destroyed.
Many areas have been cleared from terrorists while advancing in the region.
Khyber is one of seven tribal regions along the porous border which have never come under the full control of the state. Militants have taken advantage of the area s lawlessness to set up strongholds.
The operation in Tirah, part of Khyber tribal area, aims to build on the army’s offensive against strongholds of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other militant groups in nearby North Waziristan that began in June last year.
Last month the army said it killed at least 230 militants in Tirah, which has long been a hideout for TTP ally Lashkar-e-Islam (LI).
