OPERATION KHYBER ONE
The army launched the offensive in Khyber agency last week targeting militants holed up in remote mountain hideouts on the border.
The operation, code-named "Khyber One", comes against the backdrop of a broader military operation in the lawless North Waziristan region south of Khyber, where the Pakistani army has been battling to contain the insurgency since June 15.
A military source said some insurgents were believed to have slipped away and escaped towards the Afghan border.
