RAWALPINDI: Inter Services Public Relations Director General Asif Ghafoor said on Thursday Operation Khyber 4 in Rajgal valley is progressing successfully. In an interview, he said the operation was launched at around 12000-14000 feet altitude. The army could reach there for operation, but ensuring supply chain, including ammunition and ration, for it at such a height was not easy. He said the physical area has been cleared and now its sanitization is in progress.
He said he would announce the completion of the Operation Khyber 4 in a press conference in next two to three days.
He said the major feature of operation Radd-ul-Fasaad (RuF) is intelligence-based actions, which means this was against the terrorists, who were hiding at some place as well as against their facilitators and abettors all across Pakistan. Separately, Punjab Rangers along with police conducted intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in three major cities of the province and took nine suspects into custody, an ISPR statement read.
