The military sources said the militants attacked the checkpost with rocket launchers and other heavy weapons. The security personnel deployed at the checkpost repulsed the attack. The ensuing fighting between the Taliban and security forces left four militants dead, the sources added. Meanwhile, security forces continued targeting suspected hideouts of militants in different areas of Khar Tehsil, including Inayat Kellay, Bychena and areas of Mamond Tehsil. The forces used heavy artillery and mortar guns to pound the positions of militants. However, there were no reports of casualties. Curfew remained imposed in majority of the areas of Bajaur Agency, causing numerous problems for tribesmen. |
