ORAKZAI:

Eight militants were killed and six wounded when gunship helicopters targeted militant hideouts in Upper Orakzai Agency.


Security forces are busy in an operation against militants in different areas of Upper Orakzai Agency.


Two hideouts of the militants were also destroyed in the operation.


Security forces have been carrying out operations against militants in the Orakzai Agency although the military had earlier announced that the official operation in Orakzai was over and the area had been cleared of militants. However, recent attacks and activities by militants in the region have led to renewed operations by security forces.
