ISLAMABAD-
Latest military airstrikes on Monday killed at least 15 suspected militants in North Waziristan tribal region, according to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
A statement released by ISPR said that gunship helicopters targeted militant hideouts in Tabayi area, killing 15 militants.
Ten explosive-laden vehicles and five terrorist hideouts were also destroyed in the action.
Earlier on Wednesday, army struck five militant hideouts in Dattakhel and Shawal Valley, killing 65 insurgents.
According to a foreign news agency, last week’s deaths brought to the number of militants killed since mid-June to almost 975 in air and ground attacks in North Waziristan.
The area, however, is off limits to journalists, making it impossible to confirm military claims independently.
