At least nine militants were killed on Wednesday and their three hideouts destroyed in an operation.

According to details, security forces targeted suspected militants in Mamozai and surrounding areas of Orakzai Agency and exchanged heavy fire.

In a bombing conducted by security forces three hideouts were destroyed resulting in death of nine militants and leaving several others injured.

Sources said that death toll may rise further as many extremists were reportedly buried under the rubble of destroyed hideouts.

Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) militants have threatened to sabotage the general election and security forces have accelerated operations against them as May 11 draws nearer.
