Several terrorists were killed and their hideouts destroyed as the Pakistan Army, successfully cleared the highest mountain top, Brekh Muhammad Kandao of the Rajgal area in Tirah valley of Khyber Agency, near the Pak-Afghan border. "Terrorists' hideouts were destroyed and a huge cache of IEDs, arms and ammunition were seized," said the ISPR on Saturday in updates on the Operation Khyber-4.
According to ISPR, the security forces, including SSG commandos, have cleared Brekh Mohammad Kandao top from the militants and taken control of the area. The security forces also set up security posts on the top. The ISPR said terrorists had their hideouts in the area, which were also destroyed in the ongoing Khyber-4 operation.
Many terrorists were killed, with a few managing to escape to Afghanistan, the ISPR press release said. The mountain top - which was cleared well ahead of planned timings - was being used as the main observation point and its base as a transit/storage point. Terrorists gave a stiff resistance to the Pakistani troops but were unable to sustain for long.
