Five militant hideouts were destroyed in fresh airstrikes in Tirah Valley.
PESHAWAR (Web Desk) – Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets destroyed five militant hideouts in Tirah Valley of Khyber tribal region today (Thursday), Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported.
According to ISPR, twenty one militants were killed in the fresh airstrikes.
Pakistan Army has been fighting Tehreek-e-Taliban and other militant groups in the tribal areas since June.
Pak Army says it has killed more than twelve hundred militants since June 15 when it started its clean-up operations along its border with Afghanistan. At least 86 Pakistani soldiers have also been killed during the operations.
The death toll and identity of those killed is impossible to verify because journalists do not have regular access to the conflict zones.
