At least 23 suspected terrorists were killed and several hideouts destroyed in fresh air strikes of Pakistan Army on militant hideouts in different areas of North Waziristan Agency on Thursday.
ISPR said that in an aerial action army targeted militant hideouts in Zerom and Ismail Khel districts of NWA. In air strikes various hideouts of militants were destroyed, resulting in the death of 23 terrorists. Local sources said that the death toll could be higher than the estimated as several militants are thought to be buried under the debris of destroyed hideouts. However, claims of terrorists killed in action could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the restive tribal agency. Operation Zarb-i-Azb was launched by the army on June 15 following a militant attack on Karachi’s international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and TTP.
