The military said on Friday that security forces had entered two hideouts in the former Taliban camp near Afghanistan.
Four soldiers have been killed in a shootout with the Pakistani Taliban, the country says, in a series of deadly clashes between the army and security forces since the alliance ended earlier this month.
The military said on Friday that security forces had entered two hideouts in the former Taliban camp near Afghanistan.
The first attack took place in the Tank state northwest, killing two armed militants, he said.
Another strike took place in the northern region of Waziristan, killing at least four civilians before dying in the fighting.
Security forces are searching for suspected hiding places in the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan when the officers were killed in a “shootout”.
One “terrorist” was captured and armed with weapons, the statement added.
The military said the military had seized weapons during the entire period.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) – another ally of the Afghan Taliban who seized power in Afghanistan in August – confirmed that the army was in one hiding place.
Pakistan’s established border region has become a stronghold of organizations like TTP, which operates across Afghanistan.
Established in 2007, the group is best known for the 2014 school strike in Peshawar that killed at least 150 children.
In response, Pakistan disrupted the army, forcing the militants to hide in Afghanistan.
Pakistan is now trying to end the resumption of TTP following the victory of the Afghan Taliban.
TTP and Islamabad agreed to join in November. But that ended on December 10, when activists accused the government of violating its agreement.
The most recent violence in the northwest has occurred a day after a roadside bomb exploded outside a college southwest of Quetta, killing 6 people and injuring at least 13 others.
