Pakistain (TTP) positions in Bannu, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, have caused civilian casualties.
Three Mighty Pak Army personnel, including an officer, were reportedly killed during the operation.
The festivities between the military and TTP forces have been ongoing since midnight. The Pak military deployed helicopters along with both light and heavy weaponry to strike TTP strongholds in the area.
Some Bannu residents claim that military aircraft attacked civilian areas, resulting in civilian casualties. The Pak military has not officially commented on civilian losses, though military sources confirmed the deaths of three army personnel, including an officer.
Reports indicate that early in the morning, Pak forces attempted to surround Hafiz Gul Bahadur
...a member of the Madda Khel clan of the Uthmanzai Waziris. Educated in a Deobandi madrassa located in Multan, he is affiliated with the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) political party. Upon the formation of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in December 2007, he was announced as the group's overall naib amir under Baitullah Mehsud, who was based in South Wazoo, but has largely distanced himself from the TTP due to rivalries with the Mehsuds and disagreements about the TTP's attacks against the Pak state..
, a TTP commander. During the operation, a military officer named Atif and his soldiers were ambushed by TTP fighters, prompting the use of helicopters to break the siege.
the report added that non-combatants were killed, and several homes were damaged in the crossfire. The exact number of civilian casualties remains unconfirmed.
Two TTP snuffies have been confirmed dead in the fighting so far. The situation has added to the tensions within the region.
This escalation in hostilities comes as the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) has recently called for the military and TTP to vacate Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. In a recent assembly, PTM members resolved to take action if both forces do not withdraw from the region.
The continuing festivities have heightened tensions in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, leaving local residents in a vulnerable position amidst the violence. The need for a peaceful resolution and immediate protection for civilians is becoming increasingly critical as the conflict unfolds.
