A statement issued by the ISPR said eight militant hideouts were also destroyed during the operation, which was conducted in Babar Kachkol, Toor Sapar and adjoining areas of Khyber Agency. This claim, however, could not be independently verified as journalists do not have access to most parts of the restive agency.
