The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) media update said security forces cleared the area around Kokarai and established a link up to Jambil. It was reported that the police had started patrolling in Mingora and the sanitation staff was also ordered to start work in the city.
“Local militant commanders, identified as Akbar and Saleem and a suicide bomber trainer Abdul Rehman, were also arrested,” it said, adding that an explosive-laden car and a rickshaw were also recovered from the Kokarai area.
Security forces recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from a graveyard in Garai, four kilometres northeast of Shamozai. Meanwhile, security forces continued shelling different parts of the Mingora city and demolished two houses of militants.
