Fighting rages in Tirah Valley, 15 militants, one soldier martyr

PESHAWAR: Fifteen militants and one soldier was martyr on Thursday when the Pakistan military mounted another operation in a week of fighting designed to seize control of a remote but strategic valley in the northwest, the army said.

The Pak military has faced fierce resistance from the Taliban and its allies in the Tirah Valley in the Khyber region since troops set out to dislodge insurgents from strategically important heights above the valley six days ago.




Pakistan military officials say insurgents use the valley as a base camp that enables them to carry out raids in other semi-autonomous tribal areas near the Afghan border.

"Fresh clashes started early Thursday when the security forces launched another operation to secure control of the valley," said a military official in Peshawar, adding that 15 militants had been killed and a soldier martyr.
