RAWALPINDI: Several terrorists were killed late on Thursday in South Waziristan in the first nighttime strike by Pakistan’s first indigenous armed drone, ‘Burraq’, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said. It was Buraaq’s first airstrike in the dark hours and took place with pinpoint accuracy, a source said.
The development took place after air strikes by fighter jets killed 21 militants near the Pak-Afghan border, said an ISPR. “21 militants were killed in air strikes in Rajgal and Tirah areas of Khyber Agency,” Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
Earlier on October 11, at least 22 terrorists were killed in air strikes by Pakistani warplanes in the North Waziristan tribal agency before dawn. Six compounds of terrorists were decimated in the air raids in Shawal Valley, according to the military’s media wing. The strategic valley is located on the confluence of borders between North and South Waziristan agencies.
The military has been engaged in a massive operation in North Waziristan since mid-June 2014. Most parts of the agency, once a stronghold of local and foreign militants, have been purged of terrorists. However, some militants are holed up in the thickly forested Shawal Valley, which is now regarded as the last bastion of militants.
