Security forces intensified operations in Bannu’s Mamandkhel and Daud Shah areas following credible reports about the presence of militant elements in both localities. The actions targeted key locations that had reportedly been under militant control for an extended period.
According to police sources, a veterinary hospital in Mamandkhel and a mosque in Daud Shah were being used by militants for operational purposes, including planning and coordination of unlawful activities. Officials emphasized that these sites had long served as hideouts and logistic points for extremist elements.
No casualties have been reported during the ongoing operations. Security forces remain on high alert, continuing their search and clearance activities to ensure that all threats in the area are neutralized. Authorities confirmed that measures are being taken to prevent any collateral damage and to safeguard local residents.
In light of the ongoing security measures, several educational institutions in the affected areas announced temporary closures as a precautionary step. Police and security agencies are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with local communities to maintain safety and stability.
Officials underscored that operations in Mamandkhel and Daud Shah form part of broader efforts to eliminate militant networks in North Waziristan and surrounding districts, ensuring that the region remains secure for civilians and public institutions. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement agencies.
The operation reflects the commitment of security forces to disrupt militant hideouts, strengthen law and order, and maintain the safety of Bannu’s communities. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
