According to ISPR, the operations targeted militant hideouts and resulted in the recovery of weapons and ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These operations brought the total number of militants killed to 16 within a 12-hour period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the military, two Afghan nationals were among those killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    North Waziristan Remains a Focus of Security Operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    North Waziristan continues to be an important area for Pakistan’s counterterrorism operations due to the security challenges faced by the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the figures released by ISPR, 16 militants were killed across three locations in just 12 hours, while two soldiers were martyred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
