At least 26 militants were reportedly killed on Tuesday in an operation conducted by security forces in Upper Orakzai Agency. Sources said the security forces proceeded towards Dabori, Gokamar and Shadala areas and targeted six hideouts after which militants started to escape from the area. Sources added that the operation would continue until peace is restored in the area. “We have been chasing militants and will continue it until we eliminate them and bring back peace to the once peaceful area,” a military official told a private channel.
