He said that Cobra helicopters took part in the operation and targeted the hideouts of terrorists in the rural locality.
A resident in Tajazai area said they saw three helicopters hovering over the area at midday.
“We watched the helicopters from our homes and heard the shelling on the hideouts of militants,” he said.
