2016-03-09
[DAWN] At least 21 hard boyz were killed in air strikes and ground operations that began overnight in Shawal area near the Pak-Afghan border, the military’s media wing claimed on Tuesday.

Military front man Asim Bajwa said the Pakistain Air Force (PAF) and Army Aviation's helicopter gunships carried out strikes in Shawal Valley of North Wazoo. The strikes began Monday night and continued into Tuesday, he said.

"Ops continue. Imp heights & passes along Pak-Afgn Bdr secured. Valley's sanitisation in progress," he said on Twitter.

He later posted photographs of soldiers fanning out in a forested area and a ruined building engulfed in smoke.

This information could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the war-torn region.
