Peshawar: 30 militants killed in North Waziristan during an
air strike. Many refuges of terrorists also destroyed.
According to a press release by the Inter-Services Public
Relations (ISPR), foreign militants were among the 30 who were killed when jet
fighters carried out airstrikes in North Waziristan's Dattakhel area.
The area is off-limits to journalists, making it impossible
to independently verify the exact numbers of the dead. Military operation Zarb-i-Azb is ongoing in the tribal
regions of North Waziristan. The army has said that over 1,000 militants and 86
soldiers have already been killed in the mugging so far.The operation was initiated on June 15 following a severe
militant attack on Karachi's international airport and failure of peace talks
between the government and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) negotiators. The offensive has driven out over 800,000 residents from
North Waziristan and the army says it has cleared 90% of the tribal
region.
