Hundreds of militants captured a paramilitary fort in South Waziristan on January 15-night after killing 22 soldiers and taking several others hostage, according to Dawn. 600 to 700 militants reportedly attacked the fort in Sararogha, manned by the South Waziristan Scouts, at around 9pm on January 15, firing rockets and mortars. 38 paramilitary soldiers and six civilians were in the fort when it came under the assault. "Soldiers put up a good fight, but couldn’t hold out for long in the face of an overwhelming militant force," a source said. The last distress radio message, according to him, was made at around 3am to the Ludda Fort, asking for artillery fire at the militants who had broken through the defences and begun pouring into the base. The military said on January 16 that 40 militants were killed in the gun battle. While 15 soldiers escaped and reached the Jandola Fort, the fate of the rest was not known, it stated.

Security forces claimed to have killed about 90 militants in two different encounters in the Ladha area of South Waziristan on January 18, according to The Post. According to Dawn, in the first incident, militants attacked a convoy on the Jandola-Wana road in Chagmalai at 12.30pm. Troops returned fire and between 20 and 30 assailants were killed. Four security force personnel were injured and two vehicles were damaged. Further, security forces attacked a large number of militants who had gathered to attack the Laddah fort and killed up to 60 of them, the military said. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbass said "Our soldiers have bravely guarded the Ladha Fort. They were attacked from mountain tops but they retaliated with heavy weaponry including artillery, killing about 90 insurgents," he stated. He added that the SFs suffered no casualties. However, Taliban sources have dismissed the government claim and described the reports about the casualties on the part of Taliban as part of the propaganda to boost-up what they called as the shattered morale of the security forces.

According to Daily Times, at least 20 persons were killed as fighting erupted between activists of the militant group Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) and Kooki Khel tribesmen of the Khyber Agency in FATA on April 16. "The two sides have started an exchange of fire," Rasool Khan, Assistant Political Agent of the Jamrud subdivision, confirmed to Daily Times. A tribal elder from Jamrud claimed that the Government had done nothing to avert the clash, despite knowing of hostilities on both sides. Tensions in the Jamrud subdivision surfaced after Kooki Khel tribe refused to surrender to the 30-point agenda of LI. The groups are reported to have targeted each other's positions in the hills using rockets and mortar shells, Geo News channel reported. LI is lead by cleric Mangal Bagh, who follows the puritanical Deobandi form of Sunni Islam. He has reportedly attempted to enforce a strict Taliban-style Islam in the region, provoking the tribesmen. "We can’t implement the Mangal Bagh brand of Islam on ourselves and our people," elders from the Katya Khel sub-tribe of the Kooki Khel tribe, gathered at a meeting, told Daily Times on April 15. They said they were "as much Muslims as Mangal Bagh and his men," adding, "He should not teach us Islam." Representing the sub-tribe Haji Shamshad, Haji Muhammad Ashraf, and Haji Sarfaraz said they were being asked to hoist black flags on their houses and surrender before the LI cadres. "All their demands are absurd as we’ve already taken action against those involved in smuggling, the hashish trade, kidnappings for ransom, and murders," they said.

An army official was injured when the Baitullah Mehsud-led Taliban militants launched their first attack on the army after peace talks in South Waziristan failed, BBC Urdu reported on May 5.
