AIRSTRIKES INTENSIFIED
Pakistan has intensified air strikes and ground attacks, as well as raids on militant hideouts, since December 2014, when a Taliban attack on a school killed more than 150 people -- mostly schoolchildren.
Officials say more than three thousand militants have been killed since the launch of the latest offensive.
In addition to US-built F-16s and locally made JF-17 fighter jets, Pakistan deployed a homemade drone last month that killed three militants in the same conflict zone, joining a handful of other countries with the technology.
