The same area was bombed during the night between Friday and Saturday, when the military officials claimed killing nearly 50 Taliban. Militant spokesman Muslim Khan said five abandoned houses, and a middle school were destroyed in the bombing. Separately, one person was killed when a shell allegedly fired by the security forces at Taliban positions hit a house in Koza Bandi, sources told NNI. Five people were injured in the incident, the sources added. Security forces used artillery and helicopter gunships to bomb Taliban positions in the upper Swat areas of Koza Bandi, Bara Bandi, Dhaire, and Matta. |
