At least six suspected terrorists were killed as Pakistan Army destroyed two militants’ hideouts in Khyber Agency on Sunday.

According to the military's media affairs wing, ISPR, action was carried out in line with the ongoing Khyber-III operation.




Most terrorist-infested regions of Khyber Agency – including the strategic Tirah Valley – were cleansed in two previous operations, codenamed Khyber-I & II. Officials say Operation Khyber-III, launched on August 16, targets terrorists holed up in the area beyond Tirah Valley, right on the Pak-Afghan border.
