Locals have claimed that a total of fifteen people have been ‘abducted’ during the operation.
The Pakistani forces have reportedly been targeted at multiple locations during the operation.
Operations by Pakistani forces have been carried out in the same area in past too and forces have claimed to kill many militants in such operations.
