Pakistani security forces have conducted multiple raids over more than a week on militant hideouts in a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban, resulting in the killing of 37 insurgents, the military announced on Friday. Additionally, troops eliminated five insurgents in another operation in the country's restive southwest.
The intensified operations come in response to recent attacks in the Balochistan province, where more than 50 people were killed by insurgents in multiple assaults on police, security forces, and civilians.
