RAWALPINDI – Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif on Wednesday departed for North Waziristan to review progress in the ongoing Zarb-e-Azb operation.
“General Raheel left for Shawal area in North Waziristan. Will visit front lines and meet with troops participating in Operation Zarb-e-Azb,” Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Asim Bajwa said on twitter.
General Raheel Sharif is visiting the restive tribal agency along Afghan border a day after military jets killed at least 15 terrorists in bombardment at different areas, destroying several hideouts.
Pakistan Army launched Operation Zarb-e-Azb on June 15, 2014 following a deadly attack on the Karachi airport after talks with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan failed.
