The army launched an offensive Oct. 17 aimed at rooting out Pakistani Taliban insurgents from the lawless ethnic Pashtun region along the Afghan border. Fighting has intensified in recent days since security forces zeroed in on three main insurgent bases -- Sararogha, Makeen and Ladha -- in their three-pronged offensive.
Soldiers have captured a "major part" of Sararogha and stormed into Ladha, the military said, where the intense street combat was taking place Wednesday.
