Pakistan Army Launches North Waziristan Operation Against Militants
Pakistan forces on Sunday began a major operation in North Waziristan near the Afghan border after air strikes targeted insurgent hideouts. The move ends a negotiation approach and aims to deny sanctuary to Pakistani Taliban al-Qaida and the Haqqani network. Refugee camps are set up and evacuation points opened as troops seal the region, with Mir Ali and Miranshah among the affected towns. The action follows the Karachi airport siege a week earlier and seeks civilian safety amid combat against militant bases.
