Di Khan:
In an operation based on intelligence, security forces and police arrested a key commander of a forbidden outfit, identified as Javed Mehsud alias Zaki in Waziristan, who, according to reports, had returned from Afghanistan a few weeks ago. He was transferred to an unrelated location to interrogate.
The deterioration of the situation of law and order in the southern districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa continues, with multiple incidents of violence reported by South Waziristan, Bannu, Tank and Di Khan.
In the Waziristan Kaniguram area in southern Waziristan, unidentified gunmen opened fire in Mandi Bazaar, killing Liaquat Ali Burki.
At the headquarters of the Bajo Waziristan in the south of Waziristan, Wana, the armed attackers fired rockets to a security field, which caused a strong retaliation action by the security forces. The incident created tension in the area, causing panic among residents who were limited to their homes.
