ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s security forces on Saturday conducted an intelligence-based operation in North Waziristan tribal district, killing six militants while losing a soldier, confirmed the army’s media wing, ISPR, in a statement.
Located in the northwestern region of Pakistan near the Afghanistan border, the area used to be a militant stronghold during the US-led, post-9/11 war in Afghanistan.
It was reclaimed by Pakistani forces that launched a major military offensive in June 2014 to destroy militant hideouts.
