Security Forces (SFs) have gained control of half of Mingora city and killed 29 militants in various areas of Swat Valley during the last 24 hours besides arresting 14 others, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Athar Abbas said on May 26, The News reported. “Six soldiers also laid down their lives and 11 others sustained injuries,” he told reporters at a press briefing in Islamabad. “More than half of Mingora is under the army’s control. We have plugged all escape routes for militants,” said Abbas, adding that pockets of “hardcore militants” remained. The military spokesman said the operation was progressing well despite stiff resistance by the militants. He said street fights and house-to-house search was going on in Mingora city. Athar said 18 militants were killed in Mingora during an encounter and seven others were arrested when they were trying to escape towards Buner District. He said four improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also defused in the area. The Malakand-Qambar-Mingora road has reportedly been opened for traffic. In Qambar, SFs defused 12 IEDs and also recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition. The Kanju-Kabal road has also been cleared and fierce fighting is reportedly underway for securing Kabal. In Peuchar, the military spokesman said SFs continued a cordon and search operation and destroyed Taliban strongholds at Mano Derai. During the exchange of fire, three militants were killed while three others were arrested. A remote controlled IED was also defused at Pir Killay by the troops. Security forces have also cleared Sakhra Valley, the main route of the militants’ movement from Peuchar towards Kalam and other areas. About Buner, he said 90 percent area of the District had been cleared although some terrorists are present at Pir Baba. During search at check-posts, four militants have been arrested, he said. He added that in the night of May 25, about 100 to 120 militants attacked the Kalpani post in Dir Lower District from three directions and the attack was repulsed and militants suffered heavy casualties. Eight bodies have been recovered in close vicinity of the check-post. Two SF personnel were also killed in the incident and three others were wounded. The military spokesman rejected reports that a fresh group of trained terrorists had entered the troubled area. To a question as to why the senior leadership of the Taliban could not be targeted, he said it was essential to keep certain things confidential to achieve success. The terrorists are being surrounded and their morale is going down, he claimed.
