ISLAMABAD, Dhu-AlQa'dah 19, 1437, August 22, 2016, SPA -- Pakistani security forces have killed six people in a remote northwestern valley near the Afghan border in a new offensive against militants in the area, the military said, according to Reuters. All six of those killed in the offensive in the Khyber region were "terrorists", the military said in a statement late on Sunday. The army launched air and ground operations in the Rajgal valley, about 90 km (60 miles) west of the city of Peshawar, last week, the latest leg of an offensive against the Pakistani Taliban and its allies that began in 2014. --SPA 11:44 LOCAL TIME 08:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
