ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 2 (UPI) -- Heavy fighting in the Taliban-held areas of Pakistan's northwest have resulted in the deaths of 55 to 60 militants, government officials said Saturday.
Government troops that retook a strategic city in the Buner Valley this week were continuing to fight for the surrounding strategic high ground as Taliban fighters used a variety of powerful weapons against them, the Voice of America reported.
The militants were aiming anti-aircraft guns bolted to trucks as well as mortars and improvised explosive devices against Pakistani soldiers, Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas told the broadcaster.
"Fierce fighting took place at the northern area of Ambela Pass," Abbas said. "The forces came across a lot of (improvised explosive devices), prepared suicide vehicles, suicide motorcycles, individual suicide bombers and a group of 70 to 80 militants occupying the heights of Ambela Pass."
VOA said more than 100 Taliban militants have been reported killed since the Pakistani push in the North-West Frontier Province began last weekend.
