PESHAWAR (Web Desk) – At least twenty five terrorists have been killed and 10 others injured in fresh military airstrikes in North Waziristan tribal region on Monday, Dunya News reported.
Pakistan Airforce Jets (PAF) pounded militant hideouts in Madakhel village in Dattakhel area, 45km away from Miranshah.
Pak Army has been fighting an offensive against the Taliban insurgency in the remote, largely lawless region of North Waziristan on the Afghanistan border since June. The military says more than 1200 militants have been killed while 86 soldiers have embraced martyrdom during the ongoing offensive.
OPERATION KHYBER ONE
On the other hand, nine security personnel sustained injuries when a roadside blast hit their vehicle in Bajaur Agency.
The offensive, code-named Khyber One, was launched in the Khyber region last week to target militants, who have fled North Waziristan military operation.
SCHOOL DESTROYED
Some unknown militants blew up a government primary school in Khyber Agency on Monday morning, bringing the total number of destroyed schools in the area to 86.
The militants destroyed the school by fixing explosive materials inside the building and later blowing them up with remote controlled device in Akakhel area of Khyber Agency, a restive tribal area at Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The school was closed at the time of explosion. No casualty has been reported yet. The militants fled the scene following the incident.
No group has claimed responsibility for the incident yet.
The militancy in the area has taken a toll on kids education. Thousands of children are out of schools in Khyber agency as militants frequently blow up educational institutions in the area.
Earlier on Oct 8, two schools were blown up by insurgents in two separate villages of the agency.
