Airstrike on militants’ hideouts in Pakistan’s restive North Waziristan region bordering Afghanistan killed 40.
“Forty terrorists were killed in bombardment by fighter jets in Shawal area of North Waziristan on Sunday afternoon”, Army was quoted as saying by Express Tribune.
According to a statement released by the Pakistani Army, airstrikes were carried out on Sunday in the militant-infested Shawal area of the North Waziristan.
Gen Raheel, who visited the region last month, said the operation code-named “Zarb-e-Azb” is nearly in its final stage.
More than 2,800 militants have been killed since the launch of the operation last June.
The military has taken complete control of the main towns – Miranshah and Mir Ali – and has also started repatriation to the displaced persons to areas where the security forces have established writ.
Terrorists continue to be either killed or fled the area as the offensive against terrorists cruises in full swing. The military operation has also displaced one million tribesmen from North Waziristan.
