Pakistani troops kill 9 'terrorists' near Afghan border
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's army says its jets and ground forces have destroyed six militant hideouts in a northwestern tribal region, killing nine "terrorists" in the latest operation near the Afghan border.
The military says its warplanes also destroyed an ammunition dump used by militants in the Khyber tribal region.
It provided no further details about Saturday's strikes and the information could not be independently confirmed as journalists are barred from entering tribal areas.
