Pakistan military kills 11 militants

August 18, 2016 20:55

Pakistan's military said today it had killed at least 11 militants in air strikes in a restive tribal region near the Afghan border as part of an ongoing

offensive.

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.

"Eleven terrorists were killed and four others injured when eight terrorist hideouts close to the Afghan border were destroyed in precision air strikes and synchronised ground operations," the military said in a statement.

The army offensive took place in the mountainous terrain of Babar Kachkol, Naray Nao and Tor Sapar areas of Khyber.

The conflict zone is remote and off-limits to journalists, making it difficult to verify the army's claims, including the number and identity of those killed.
