Explaining the progress of the operation using a 3D model in the Express News studio, the military spokesperson also appealed to Afghanistan to take action against or hand over to militants who are seeking refuge in Kunar and Nooristan, saying they would “hunt them down wherever they go.”

Aerial bombing in the Shawal area of North Waziristan early on Wednesday leaves 35 militants dead, Express News reported quoting ISPR.
The militants were killed while trying to flee.
This operation should be renamed "The revenge of 40k pashtuns by PAK ARMY"
For punjabis and muhajirs it is "operation-against-pathani-terrorists". According to paki statistics, In the 50k death figure, 14k are civilians, 29k are suspected taliban and 5k are security forces. In the 14k civilian deaths, only 4 thousands are from KPK. So i doubt that pakis would agree with you that pashtuns are that mazloom.

Wrong,All the estimate(Recently checked 2011-2012-2013) of death toll put FATA/KPK higher than the rest of Pakistan as all of them are the ttp strikes or most of them.
*In Sindh the death toll indeed is almost similar but it is not due to TTP but rather Target killers which for obvious reason we know are the combination of MQM and other local factors.
In an area nicknamed Cannibal Market, a purple sheet shrouding a small wooden platform was the site of the Taliban's public beheadings, the military said.
The militants used to leave bodies to rot on the road, as a grim warning of the movement's justice. Former residents of the town confirmed the account.
Before the offensive, the Pakistan army confined itself to its sprawling headquarters in Miranshah, only making weekly supply runs.
But after almost a month of air strikes by fighter jets and a ground offensive using tanks and heavily armed soldiers to search from house to house, the military says it controls 80 percent of the town.
So far, the military says it has killed 400 militants, but has not followed its usual custom of releasing names or displaying bodies.
“This is not a swordfight, where one cuts off the head and presents it as evidence,” said General Zafarullah Khan, commander of the operation.
With the region sealed off by the military, there is no way to verify the casualty figures.
The army won't say when it might wrap up the operation, and let residents return home.
But the generals are confident they will succeed.
“The challenges we are facing in these areas are huge and we are deliberately being very slow,” General Asim Bajwa, the head of the military's media wing, told *******.
“Our goal is to establish the writ of the state and to never let these terrorists ever come back here again.”
