2014-09-19
[DAWN] At least 23 suspected terrorist were killed in fresh Arclight airstrikes on myrmidon hideouts in Ismail Khel and Zerom areas of North Wazoo Agency, Pak military said on Thursday.

A statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that Pakistain Army in an aerial action targeted myrmidon hideouts in Zerom and Ismail Khel districts, killing at least 23 myrmidons.

These claims, however, could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the restive tribal agency.
