ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military said Wednesday it killed 40 insurgents and destroyed five of their hide-outs in fresh air attacks as part of a major offensive against the Taleban in the northwest.
Pakistan began the long-awaited push to clear the bases from North Waziristan district, on the Afghan border, in June after a bloody attack on Karachi airport finally sank faltering peace talks with the rebels.
A military statement said that “in precise aerial strikes” five hide-outs and ammunition dumps were destroyed and forty insurgents including foreigners were killed in the villages of Nawe Kili and Zaram Asar, north of Dattakhel in North Waziristan.
