linked to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in three separate operations in
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations

Waziristan, and Bannu, where 14 militants were killed in Mohmand, four in North
Waziristan, and one in Bannu.

a police headquarters in Bannu. Pakistan Security forces said that they managed
to kill five of the attackers in the clash.
