A raid by the Pakistan military targeting militants in the Tirah Valley region of Khyber Agency, including the Darpeir and Chh Chowk areas, ended in failure and resulted in significant losses for the Army.

Reportedly, the Tehrik-e-Lashkar-e-Islam Pakistan, through its spokesperson Salahuddin Ayubi, claimed that their fighters were prepared and ambushed the military forces with both light and heavy weaponry.

The confrontation, which started at 10 a.m. and lasted until the evening, saw intense fighting that inflicted substantial casualties and damage on the Pakistan military. Many soldiers’ bodies were left on the ground as the conflict unfolded. In response, the military deployed gunship helicopters to target civilian areas and forests in an attempt to recover the fallen soldiers.

The incident highlights the severe challenges faced by the Pakistan military in its operations against entrenched militant groups in the region, raising concerns about the ongoing instability and security situation of the civilians in the Khyber region.
