ISLAMABAD, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Security forces killed 14 militants and arrested 27 others in search and clearance operations in northwest Pakistan during last 24 hours, an army press release said Saturday.
Security forces continued search operation in Swat and Buner district in North West Frontier Province, during which 14 militants were killed in exchange of fire and 27 others were apprehended, the Inter Services Public Relations said in a daily statement.
A militant training camp and a cave were also destroyed, and huge cache of arms and ammunition were recovered, the statement said.
