At least 13 suspected militants have been killed in the Dattakhel Area of Pakistan’s North Waziristan Tribal Agency by air strikes, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
According to the Dawn, the ISPR said that five militant hideouts were also destroyed in the attack.
A week after the brazen insurgent attack on Karach Airport complex last year, the Pakistan Army launched Operation Zarb-i-Azb against foreign and local terrorists hiding in sanctuaries in the North Waziristan tribal region.
The region has been used as a base by militants for years.
North Waziristan is governed by tribal laws which is situated along the Pak-Afghan border and is rife with Taliban militant activity. (ANI)
