Meanwhile, the district administration has issued evacuation notices for residents of four villages in Lower Kurram due to escalating security concerns in the region.

Residents of Ochit, Manduri, Dad Kumar, and Bagan were instructed to evacuate for protection of their lives and property.

In a related effort, six families from Lower Kurram were relocated to Hangu on Tuesday, temporarily staying with relatives as tensions rise. Officials indicated that once the villages are vacated, search operations will commence in the area to enhance security.
