Seven militants affiliated with Jamaatul Ahrar (JuA), a broken faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), were killed in a security operation, the group’s spokesperson claimed on Sunday.

In a message to journalists, the banned outfit was quick to name its seven fighters, who it said were killed in a joint operation by Nato and Afghan troops in Nangarhar, which borders Mohmand Agency.

JuA spokesperson Asad Mansoor claimed that of the seven killed, six were from Mohmand Agency and one from Bannu. The raid, he added, took place on the night between Friday and Saturday.
