ISLAMABAD:
At least 32 terrorists were killed and three sanctuaries were destroyed by Army Aviation’s gunship helicopters in a remote area of Bangidar in the North, the military’s media wing claimed on Saturday.
“During the air assault, 23 explosive-laden vehicles and four ammunition dumps were also destroyed early in the morning,” said a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The long-awaited military campaign Zarb-e-Azb was launched by the army on June 15 following an attack on Karachi’s international airport. Since then, the military has pounded militant safe havens in the Taliban-dominated part of the country’s borderlands in a bid to curb the menace of terrorism.
Over a million people have been displaced since the operation began.
Meanwhile, security forces also killed five foreign terrorists in Ghulam Khan area of North Waziristan.
