Pakistan said yesterday five soldiers and a number of militants were killed during fighting in a northwest valley where fighter jets and ground troops have pressed an offensive against the Taliban.
"In the last 24 hours, a number of miscreants-terrorists including important miscreant commander Abu Tariq were killed and seven miscreants were apprehended," the military said in a statement.
"Five soldiers embraced shahadat (martyrdom) and seven soldiers, including an officer were injured, in various areas of Swat," it added.
The military reported fighting in Peochar, a key Taliban bastion in northern Swat, the town of Kanju and around a Taliban supply line in Takhta Bund.
