At least 30 suspected terrorists were killed and six hideouts destroyed in fresh airstrikes carried out by fighter jets in Datta Khel, Marsikhel, and Kamsham areas of North Waziristan tribal region, the Inter-Services Public Relations claimed on Tuesday.
The claim could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the restive tribal agency.
Operation Zarb-e-Azb was launched by the Pakistan Army on June 15, following a brazen terrorist attack on Karachi’s international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
Nearly a million people have fled the offensive in North Waziristan, which is aimed at wiping out longstanding militant strongholds in the area, which borders Afghanistan.
