The Pakistan Army Monday said that at least 350 terrorists had surrendered to armed forces in military operation Khyber-I in Khyber Agency.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), of the total militants, 20 of them were “extremely dangerous” and key commanders of Khyber Agency. It added that 10 more militants, including a top commander, had surrendered themselves to security forces on Monday.
The ISPR said militants also handed over their arms and munitions to the security forces.
The Pakistan Army launched Khyber-1 last month with air strikes against militants’ hideouts in areas under the Mangal Bagh-led group’s control in Tirah and Bara.
The latest operation was launched amidst Zarb-e-Azb, a full-fledged military operation being conducted by the army against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other militants in the North Waziristan tribal region.
