We have plugged all escape routes for militants,” said Abbas, adding that pockets of “hardcore militants” remained.

Athar said 18 militants were killed in Mingora during an encounter and seven others were arrested when they were trying to escape towards Buner District. He said four improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also defused in the area. The Malakand-Qambar-Mingora road has reportedly been opened for traffic.

According to the ISPR media update, a known militant commander identified as Ghaniur Rehman has been arrested by the troops during the search and cordon operation. He was allegedly involved in killing police officials. A local elder said there were some 40-50 militants in Bahrain but they fled the town on May 27-evening when they came to know about the arrival of the SFs. “They (Taliban) are avoiding fighting with the security forces now and are running,” he said and added the militants had shifted to Kalam. The elder said the group of Taliban militants in Kalam was commanded by one Khushmir, a resident of Gilgit. He said five militants were killed in a clash in Bahrain.
