ISLAMABAD: Security forces killed 30 militants in several operations near the Afghan frontier in recent days, the army said Thursday, after a suicide bombing last week killed 12 people in Islamabad.
The militants belonged to the Pakistani Taliban or its affiliated groups, the military said in a statement, accusing archfoe India of backing them.
Twenty-three militants were killed in raids in the Kurram district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Wednesday, the military said.
In a subsequent statement, the military said a further seven militants were killed in three separate operations in Mohmand, Lakki Marwat and Tank districts in the same province on November 18-19.
“Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out (the) menace of foreign sponsored and supported terrorism from the country,” the military said.
