Bannu (HRNW) — Security forces carried out intelligence‑based operations against militants of Fitna al‑Khawarij in several areas of Bannu, and reports say explosive caches held by the militants detonated during the raids.
Sources said the operations focused on the Narmi Khel, Baka Khel and Takhti Khel localities. Multiple explosions were heard during the action, which initial accounts attribute to the blast of the militants’ munitions stockpiles. Security forces have launched clearance operations in the affected areas and are taking precautionary measures to mitigate further risks.
Further details awaited. Updates will follow as information on casualties, injuries or arrests becomes available.
