Since May, the military has stepped up operations in the deeply forested ravines of the Shawal Valley – which straddles North and South Waziristan agencies along the border with Afghanistan – and softened militant targets in the valley through continued airstrikes.
The deeply forested ravines of Shawal Valley and Datta Khel are popular smuggling routes between Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan, and are dotted with militant bases used as launch pads for attacks on Pakistani forces.
The area is a stronghold of Khan Sajna Said, the leader of a Taliban faction whose name the United States put on a sanctions list of ‘specially designated global terrorists” last year.

Banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan used to control all of mountainous NWA, which includes the Shawal Valley and Datta Khel, and runs along the Afghan border. But Pakistan Army recaptured most of the region in a major armed operation, codenamed Zarb-e-Azb, which was launched in June 2014.
North Waziristan used to be the Pakistani Taliban’s last key stronghold until the start of the operation. Officials claim that nearly 3,000 militants have been killed since the launch of the offensive. Authorities have now vowed to intensify operations both in the border regions and across the country.
Just to let our Army Chief know that Sir, you are a super man. You travel around the country to support the troops and build their moral.
If being a civilian I can feel motivated to do more for country, imagine how our soldiers feel when they see their leader among them whenever, where ever required.
Mashallah.
May Allah keep you safe and motivated to server Pakistan.
How do we know they were militants? Any names, evidence? This is genocide of Pakhtoons.
In just one operation in 1 months, Pak army has killed more than 200 militants and Indian army has failed to kill even 50 militants in Kashmir in last 6 months. Poor job by Indian army.
@Jalal: Since when Indian trolls worry about Pakhtoons ? I know you are an Indian because it is actually spelled ‘Pukhtoon’ and we are the real ones unlike you. LOL.
@Jalal:
For your kind information everyone in North and South Waziristan Agency have been asked to leave. ample time was given for their vacation of home. this shawal valley operation have started after one year. so , please justify they are innocents. also justify the Shadat of lieutenant colonel and soldier yesterday. have our pushtoon brethren killed them or so called ttp.
@ lol….because to even arrest lakhvi u feel evidemce r inadequate. Lol
Where are DPC where are JI mullahs pl smoke them out and expose their ugly faces.to the nation.Never close your eyes for ugly people in your ranks who were the real master minds behind the whole turmoil.
You guys have this India fixation. Ease up. Did the family eat well, sleep in peace today. Count the day as success. That’s what matters.
Pleasantly surprised to find out that able bodied men live in that area . All would have been killed or maimed by now thanx to the ongoing conflicts since decades .
Seems anyone who is not Punjabi is being bumped off in Pakistan.
Only 203 ?
Since there is no independent verification or coverage of the press why not make it 1203 !!
@guys stop – you accuse us of having an India fixation, while you’re the ones who trawl our news websites continuously
@Jalal:
why would a pakhtoon a patriotic person would be living in the war region? knowing there will be war, knowing the enemy of the state hide their. why would they not migrate like the others? just trying to be over smart without any prior knowledge.
@ajeet Seems anyone who is not a Hindu is being bumped off in india…ironic
@Babloo:
Indian army never make wrong claims and tell lies to its people for their consumption or receiving praise. Ninety percent of Pak terrorists have been claimed to be killed in aerial bombardment without any authentication or field verification. India has never used air-crafts against militants till date to avoid civilian casualities.
Pakistan army should share its bum technology with the UN as it kills only bad terrorists, no innocent men, women or children or good terrorists.
@Ahmed,
So it’s okay you say , if India ordered and gave enough time to Kashmiris to vacate Kashmir and then bombed it to oblivion, even though may be less than 1% of Kashmiris are maybe militants ?
What is good for waziristan must be very good for Kashmir ?
May God keep safe you and our Army Jawans, General Raheel Sharif you are travelling all over Pakistan to safe our nation excellent, we are all Pakistani stand with you
Please don’t stop Karachi operation and keep these corrupt politicians behind the bar
Thank you General Sb.
Pakistan Zindabad
@Kanishka:
Terrorist are continuously on run sometime seeking refuge in houses deserted by locals.On tip off, army conducts operation and eliminate them.There is no question of any innocent living in highly explosive war zones.

Musharraf
Kayani
Now Shareef

The comments by hate filled Indian Hindus on these pages show their true face.
Pakistan Zindabad ! Pakistan Army Zindabad !
@Syed- Yes I agree with you that he is superman….and I want him not only to be superman….I want him to be spiderman, batman, and whatever man you like, eliminating every terrorist present in your country….without differentiating the terrorism….
With the amount Pakistan has been investing on the army, Raheel has to be superman, Spiderman, heman to solve the enormous problems Pakistan is facing due to the deep state’s failed strategy of 1000 cuts on India.
