Pakistan is moving nearly 20,000 troops from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to Kasur and Sialkot amid reports of Indian troop movement and rising tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi. An unnamed senior military official said the redeployed 14th Division would "counter any misadventure by India". "The troops have been moved from the western border areas where the operation [against Taliban] is not going on. But this is a limited movement to reinforce our defence on the eastern border," the official told Daily Times. He said Pakistan Army had restricted the leaves of its troops and officers in view of the security situation. According to The News, two units of the Pakistan Army have been gradually withdrawn from the Lower Dir district bordering the Bajaur Agency and Afghanistan’s Kunar province while troops have also been pulled out of South Waziristan. The troops withdrawn from Lower Dir were not involved in any military operations and had reportedly been deployed there for back-up support. Official sources said some of the troops pulled out of the FATA were based in snow-bound areas where no fighting could take place at this time of the year. However, military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas declined to comment on these reports. Military sources told The News in Peshawar that the Government had quietly started withdrawal of troops from the tribal regions and the settled districts. Residents in Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan, saw a big convoy of the Pakistan Army comprising several trucks and heavy ammunition leaving the region for down country. People in Tank district also reportedly saw heavy military trucks carrying the troops towards Dera Ismail Khan. Further, "The 17th Division of Pakistan Army which was carrying out operation against the militants in Swat has also been pulled out and replaced by the 37th Division," disclosed a senior military officer. However, the officer said that keeping in view sensitivity of Pakistan’s western frontier with Afghanistan, troops of 11th Corps would remain there for safeguarding this strategic border of the country. There were also reports that the Government has dropped the plan of launching a major military operation against the militants in Khyber Agency, involved in attacks on NATO supplies. Reports said the operation was postponed due to tense situation with India. However, a military officer said there was no such plan in Khyber Agency.

According to Dawn, five militants and three civilians were killed and several others injured when Security Forces (SFs) targeted suspected militant hideouts in different parts of Bajaur Agency on December 30. SFs resorted to heavy mortar shelling after militants fired five missiles towards Khar, regional headquarters of Bajaur Agency, from Kohi Mor and Maram Ghundai areas. They said that three missiles landed in the Civil Colony, one fell near a check post in Fajja and one hit the Siddiqabad area. However, no casualty was reported in these missile attacks. The SFs countered the attack and fired mortar shells to target the militants’ positions. Two militants were consequently killed and a number of hideouts destroyed in the shelling on Kohi Mor and Maram Ghundai hills, said official sources.

Pakistan on December 30 suspended supplies to more than 65,000 NATO and United States troops in Afghanistan when Security Forces imposed curfew in and around Jamrud tehsil (revenue division) of Khyber Agency to initiate a military operation against the Taliban, Daily Times reported. Two militants were among five people killed on December 30 in the joint operation by military and paramilitary forces. "We have launched crackdown against people creating disturbances, and army, paramilitary and levy force is jointly conducting the operation," Khyber Chief Administrator Tariq Hayat told reporters in Peshawar. Hayat also said the operation was targeting six Taliban-linked organizations. "This operation will continue as long as all targets are achieved," he stated. According to him, the operation was aimed at putting a stop to both attacks on NATO supply vehicles and a spate of kidnappings for ransom in the FATA, where the Taliban and al Qaeda are active. Troops had already seized a large quantity of arms and ammunition in a raid on a warehouse in Jamrud, Hayat said, adding that a complete curfew had been imposed on the area, with paramilitary troops patrolling the streets. The early-dawn operation followed recent Taliban activities, which attempted to cut off supply lines to international forces in Afghanistan and threatened Peshawar’s security. "Helicopter gunships pounded suspected hideouts of the Taliban and their local facilitators while ground forces with tanks and heavy artillery provided backup," residents of Jamrud told Daily Times. Troops shelled Taliban strongholds in the Ghundi, Sakhipul, Tedi bazaar, Shah Zaman Kalay and Ghuriza areas of Jamrud. "Five people were killed," political administration officials said, but did not provide details. Local residents said three civilians, including a child, were killed in an area close to Tedi bazaar and Ghuriza by the shelling. Local residents said the militants put up little resistance to the operation. "There was some resistance by members of an organisation, but there was no resistance at all by the militants who appear to have left the area much earlier than the operation started," the residents said. Reuters reported NATO spokesman in Kabul Captain Mark Windsor as saying that the supply blockade "will not have a major impact, for it is temporary and we have stocks and supplies. Overall, it will be a good thing."
