ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army on Friday night reportedly attacked suspected militant hideouts in Afghanistan, a private news channel reported. According to the channel, the army attacked the alleged training camp of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar located in Afghanistan near the Pak-Afghan border and reportedly destroyed the compound and four other hideouts of suspected terrorists. The military action was reportedly carried out near the Pak-Afghan border in areas adjacent to Mohmand and Khyber Agency. The training camp of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar deputy commander Adil Bacha was reportedly destroyed in the attack, and suspected militants were also killed, the channel quoted sources as saying. However, the claims could not be verified independently. The development comes hours after the Inter-Services Public Relations announced that the security forces had been given special orders to maintain strict vigilance along the Pak-Afghan border. “The border has been closed since last night due to security reasons. No cross-border or unauthorised entry will be allowed into Pakistan from Afghanistan,” read an ISPR statement.
