BANNU-
Pakistan military helicopters shelled militant hideouts in the country’s restive northwest on Wednesday as part of a massive ongoing offensive against the Taliban and other extremists, killing 10 insurgents, officials said.
The helicopters pounded militant compounds in the Khar Warsak area, 12 kilometres (seven miles) north of Miranshah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal region.
“The helicopters destroyed three militant compounds and killed 10 insurgents during the shelling,” a local security official told a foreign news agency.
A local intelligence official confirmed the attack and militant casualties.
