A number of opposition parties in Pakistan are putting pressure on the government to launch a military operation against the pro-Taliban militants and end over 12 years of insurgency. However, Islamabad has so far resorted to surgical strikes against the militants. Now, people from Pakistan\'s tribal belt are fleeing their homes in fear.

Pakistan launches new airstrikes against militant hideouts in the northwestern tribal region, killing at least 30 people. Military officials say the latest strikes mainly took place in the Shawal valley and Datta-khel areas of North Waziristan. They say fifteen militants were killed in the South Waziristan side of the border, and another 12 in North Waziristan. Militants are using these areas as training compounds for their attacks. Pakistani fighter jets have been pounding targets in the region since the government\'s efforts to hold peace talks with pro-Taliban militants broke down this month. In recent days, people of North Waziristan have evacuated their villages, anticipating a full-scale military offensive.
