The Pakistan Army has cleared most of the Kurram region from the Taliban militants, however, some of the areas are still under the control of militants from where they carry out attacks on the Pakistan Army and pro-government tribal people.
The forces have been conducting major operation against the militants in Kurram and the nearby Orakzai region over the past few months, and they are making progress in areas where militants are still active.
