ISLAMABAD: At least three militants were killed while a militant hideout was destroyed in Shawal Valley of North Waziristan in an airstrike by Pakistan’s first indigenous armed drone “Burraq”.
According to ISPR, this is the first ever use of an unmanned aerial vehicle. This technology will help Pakistan and its foreign policy as the country depends on the United States for such strikes.
A renewed offensive in the Shawal Valley, including ground forces, began last month, aiming to clear out the remaining districts the military says are still home to Taliban fighters.
