The operation, which had so far lasted 40 hours, had dove-tailed into the mop up phase during which the remnants of insurgents were being cleared from the communities.
The mop up phase would also ascertain the casualties as additional efforts were also being made to ensure the protection of innocent civilians during the operation.
Meanwhile, troops are also involved in manoeuvres to apprehend terrorists who have been attacking Gwoza and surrounding localities since Tuesday, causing the death of many civilians.
