The Pakistan Army said it had killed 30 militants during a major operation in South Waziristan, a volatile tribal district along the Afghan border. The operation, involving ground troops and air support, targeted insurgent hideouts linked to cross-border attacks and terrorism inside Pakistan. South Waziristan has long been a militant stronghold, home to various extremist groups using its rugged terrain as cover. Officials reported no civilian casualties and said clearance efforts are ongoing. The region has seen intermittent violence despite repeated military campaigns, highlighting its strategic importance for controlling militant infiltration and securing Pakistan’s western frontier with Afghanistan.
