According to Reuters, nine militants and two soldiers were killed during the fighting on November 1, taking the TTP death toll to 331 in 16 days of fighting. 38 soldiers have been killed in the operation so far, according to Army estimates, although there is no independent verification of casualty figures. "The command and control structure of the Taliban exists in Sararogha, Makeen and Ladha," a security official said. "It’s going to be a tough fight here," he added.

The Army hopes to neutralise the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in South Waziristan Agency before the winter sets in, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on November 1, Daily Times reported. "The operation so far has been very successful. The resistance that we were expecting initially did not come with the same swiftness we were expecting," Qureshi - who is in Kuala Lumpur to attend a meeting of Islamic countries starting on November 2 (today) - told reporters. "South Waziristan is an area which is very important in order to check terrorist activity in Pakistan. Not just Pakistan, but beyond," said Qureshi. He said the armed forces had surrounded the area and choked supply lines to the Taliban. "They are on the run. They are in retreat and there is disarray over there," he claimed. Qureshi said it would be difficult to give a timeframe for total military success, but "we would want to achieve our objectives as much as possible before the winter sets in… And it seems, as things are going on, that we might be able to do so ... I can’t give you a date, but that area becomes very cold (by late December). We want to operate and establish our foothold before that."

The Security Forces (SFs) secured Ladha Fort in South Waziristan Agency on November 5 and consolidated their positions on peaks around another base of the militants, Daily Times reported. An Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said 28 Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants had been killed, taking the death toll for the TTP to 422 since the Operation Rah-e-Nijat began on October 17. Five soldiers, including an officer, were killed and two were injured on November 5, the statement said. “Security forces have secured Ladha Fort and the northeast area of Shashak and also cleared Bangel Khel,” the ISPR statement stated. SFs secured the Ladha Fort and consolidated their positions on the peaks in the Sararogha area where the five soldiers were killed in a blast, the military said. The troops also conducted house-to-house search and clearance operations in the Spin Qamar, Wucha Kauna Algad and Lugar Manza areas. The SFs also recovered a heavy cache of arms from the Razmak-Makeen axis.

The TTP chief Hakeemullah Mehsud has urged his fighters to stand fast against the military offensive in South Waziristan, warning them in an intercepted message obtained on November 5 that cowards will go to hell, The News reported. “Remember this is the commandment of God that once fighting starts with the enemy, you cannot leave the battlefield without permission from your commander, and don’t look for excuses to run away from the fighting,” Hakeemullah told his followers in a speech on November 3 broadcast over a wireless radio network. Of those, who do run away, he warned, “Such people will go to hell.” The intelligence officials shared a recording of the speech with The Associated Press, to show that the militant leader is concerned about desertions in the ranks. “We are in Jihad and we should not pay heed to the whispers of Satan. We should sacrifice our lives for Islam so that we can feel pride on the day of judgment,” Hakeemullah said. The political administration officials said the troops had advanced some 30 kilometres from the Wana direction so far. They have reportedly captured some strategically important areas of Ladha Tehsil (revenue unit), which will facilitate their advance on the Ladha town. According to officials, the SFs have got control of Garde Serai mountain after consolidating positions in Ladha and the freshly captured Ladha Fort, which was abandoned by the Frontier Corps (FC) after immense pressure from the militants more than a year ago. Sources said the FC fort was mostly destroyed by the militants. A clash was reported in Shamerai village near the Ladha bridge. Officials said seven militants were killed and some others sustained injuries in the incident. They said the rest of militants fled the scene. The troops also captured Sheen Sar and the Hanrai Tangi area in their advance from Jandola towards Sararogha. From the Razmak side, the SFs have seized control of Panj Plorai and Ashkar Kot to reach the Taliban stronghold of Makeen. A statement from the ISPR said a blast near Sararogha killed five soldiers, including one officer. Two more soldiers sustained injuries. The explosion occurred as the troops were busy in a clearance operation and consolidating their positions on the Jandola-Sararogha axis. The troops have captured the areas of Shashak and Bangalkhel on the Shakai-Kaniguram axis. Seven militants were killed in retaliatory fire from SFs in Mangora and Ghundai Ghar. The troops also secured the road from Asman Manza to Gadawai, said the ISPR statement.

A large part of town has been cleared. In the remaining parts, a search-and-clearance operation is underway,” said an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman in a statement, adding that intense clashes were in progress, and Taliban militants were fleeing the area – leaving behind their weapons and ammunition.

Azam Tariq, spokesman for the Hakeemullah Mehsud-led Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed on November 10 in a telephonic call to reporters from an undisclosed location that the Army had so far captured only roads while the Taliban were holding the key locations in forests and mountains. He said they had adopted the hit-and-run policy and were preparing to fight a long guerrilla war against the advancing Army. He also claimed inflicting casualties on the SFs, but did not give the exact number. The TTP spokesman said they were ready for a tough resistance against the Army.

The Army on November 10 claimed killing nine more militants to raise the Taliban death tally to 492 since the launch of the Operation Rah-e-Nijat in South Waziristan Agency on October 17, The News reported. Among the nine slain militants, the Army said five were killed in the north of Ladha and four others were killed in the Tauda Cheena and Fort Knoll areas of Makeen. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the SFs continued search and clearance operations in the Sarai Ghundaka, Kandao, Spinkai and Zariwam areas on the Jandola-Sararogha axis. The SFs have reportedly discovered and dismantled a private jail near the Bangalkhel area of Ladha, where they are conducting a search and clearance operation over the past few days. Several caves, bunkers, towers and observation posts of the Taliban were also destroyed in the same area, said the ISPR. On the Razmak-Makeen axis, the SFs recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition and arrested one militant from the area. Political administration officials said the troops were in complete control of Makeen, the nerve centre of the TTP. They said the areas of Shakai, Kaniguram and Makeen had been cleared while a search operation was underway in Maidan, Kot Langarkhel and Bazay. The troops have also established posts on mountains in Sararogha to strengthen their positions and started a search operation on the Srarogha-Piazha Road. The troops are now reportedly advancing towards Janta, Piazha and Makeen from the Sararogha side. Sources said the SFs had also started a search operation in the Sam area of Ladha while posts had been established on the hilltops in Karwan Manza, Karam and Delay. Sources said the SFs were now controlling more than 80 per cent of the Mehsud areas in the agency as there was no or little resistance from the militants in recent days. They said the majority of militants had either fled into the neighbouring North Waziristan and Orakzai Agencies or sneaked into the adjacent districts of Tank and Dera Ismail Khan in the NWFP in the garb of fleeing population.

At least seven Taliban militants were killed and two soldiers sustained injuries in the ongoing Operation Rah-e-Nijat in the South Waziristan Agency, an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said on November 11, Daily Times reported. “An intense gunbattle took place at the recently-established checkpost at Fort Knoll, where seven terrorists were killed and two soldiers, including an officer injured,” it said. The forces also reportedly cleared Kaniguram and discovered eight tunnels inside the compounds and seized arms and ammunition. The operation is now mostly focused on consolidation of troops’ positions in and around the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) strongholds of Makeen, Ladha and Sararogha. Political administration officials told The News that a search operation had been launched in Faqir Koroona and Siga villages of Ladha sub-division. They said the troops had started advancing towards Ladha from Makeen and were only six kilometres away from it. The troops are expected to be in full control of the Wana-Razmak road once they occupy and clear the remaining six kilometres road between Ladha and Makeen. Jet fighters continued hitting the TTP hideouts alongside the ground offensive and sources said four positions of militants were destroyed in Shaktoi. Sources said tunnels up to half-kilometre-long had been discovered in Kari Kamar, Char Chobai, Mohmand Kamar, Roghpal, Panrai Kamar, Manzai and Mirza Begai areas of Kaniguram and been cleared of militants and IEDs on the 26th day of the military action that began on October 17. Local sources said huge quantity of arms, ammunition and explosives were recovered during a search operation in Boya area located north of Shakai.

Meanwhile, Azam Tariq, spokesman for the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), told a news conference at a secret location in South Waziristan that the Taliban never thought of Azad (independent) Waziristan, which was the propaganda of the "pro-US" government in Islamabad. Only three journalists from the neighbouring North Waziristan Agency were reportedly invited to a meeting with Azam Tariq at a secret location. The TTP spokesman told the journalists that they would continue fighting the American and NATO troops in Afghanistan. He said the Taliban in Waziristan had no dispute with the Government of Pakistan and the Army, as the people of this region were patriots. He alleged that the Government had risked the country and the people by lending support to the United States and the TTP would continue its war till the US control ended. He dissociated the Taliban from the blasts in civilian areas and claimed the Blackwater agency was involved in all such attacks. "Look, what it (Blackwater) has done in Iraq with civilians," said Azam Tariq, adding the security agency was brought into Pakistan under a well-planned strategy. An AFP report added that Azam Tariq also said the Taliban’s guerrilla war would expel troops from South Waziristan. "We have not been defeated. We have voluntarily withdrawn into the mountains under a strategy that will trap the Pakistan Army in the area," the Taliban spokesman claimed. "The Army claims they have captured most of the towns. This is wrong, in fact we have vacated old forts which we captured from them in previous clashes. The troops are trapped there and we will retake the area," he said.

The militants killed a Frontier Corps (FC) trooper and his father in a failed kidnap bid at Darra Ghari in the Orakzai Agency on November 19, The News reported. Tribal sources said the militants from the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Darra Adamkhel chapter headed by Talha kidnapped an FC trooper, identified as Inayat Ali along with his father Ali Mohsin.
