Commenting on a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on the number of casualties suffered by terrorists, a spokesman of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said that contrary to the army’s claim of killing 910 terrorists, between 25 and 30 militants were killed in the ongoing military operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan Agency (NWA).
According to a statement, Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed more than five dozen civilians were killed in military airstrikes. He said all explosive-making factories had been shifted elsewhere before the launch of Zarb-e-Azb.
