Pakistan Conducts Strikes Along Afghan Border, 29 killed

Pakistan on Monday said at least 29 militants were killed in an intelligence-based ground operation it carried out along the Pakistan-Afghan border.

The strikes against the hideouts and safe havens of terrorists came in after terrorists tried to storm a paramilitary Rangers headquarters in Karachi on Saturday, Information Minister Atta Tarar said on Monday. 

Tarar confirmed that the attacks were in reaction to the recent



multiple terrorist incidents inside Pakistan against the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) Camp, Karachi.

He said, "A well-planned intelligence-based ground operation was carried out by security forces along the Pakistan-Afghan border, followed by calibrated strikes in the border region against the hideouts and safe havens of terrorists belonging to Jamaat ul Ahrar and Fitna al khwarij, killing twenty-nine khwarij".
