He said: “The clock of your ultimate destruction is ticking as you will no longer have a place to hide.

“The bandits are living in the fool’s paradise of invincibility, but reality will soon dawn on them harder than ever before.

“The bandits are currently under desperate pressures because of the intense and sustained air and ground operations against them in their hideouts by our security forces.

“The cowardly attacks on innocent people by the bandits show a rearguard action of criminals under pressure. But they will have no place to hide and our gallant security forces will not relent in the current offensive to defeat these callous enemies of humanity,” the President added.
