Pakistan has said its security forces killed 22 militants during a joint operation in the Khyber district near the Afghanistan border. The operation reportedly involved an intense exchange of fire between security personnel and armed groups in a region that has seen rising violence. The incident has drawn attention after a 10-year-old child was killed in the crossfire, highlighting the risks faced by civilians in conflict zones. While authorities describe those killed as militants, independent verification of such claims remains limited.
