Pakistan: Army airstrikes in North Waziristan kill 30 militants
At least 30 suspected militants were killed and six of their hideouts destroyed in fresh air strikes carried out by fighter jets in Datta Khel, Marsikhel, and Kamsham areas of North Waziristan tribal region, the ISPR sources said.
However, these claims could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the restive tribal agency.
Military operation Zarb-i-Azb was launched by the Pakistan Army on June15 following a brazen militant attack on Karachi’s international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan negotiators.
