RAWALPINDI: At least 11 militants were killed and four other injured in the air strikes and ground operation by security forces in Khyber Agency near the Afghan border as part of an ongoing offensive.
According to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) here Thursday, eight hideouts of the terrorists were also destroyed in precision air strikes and synchronised ground operation at Babar Kachkol, Naray Nao, and Tor Sapar areas, Rajgal in Khyber Agency.
The latest operation in the Khyber district came just after the military said it had killed at least 14 militants in the same area Tuesday.
Khyber is one of the seven tribal districts where the military has been fighting Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants for over a decade.
Pakistan has been battling insurgency since 2004, following the US-led invasion of neighbouring Afghanistan in 2001 and the subsequent spillover of militants into its territory.
The army launched the "Zarb-e-Azb" operation in June 2014 in a bid to wipe out militant bases in **rth Waziristan tribal area and so bring an end to the bloody insurgency that has cost thousands of lives.
