巴基斯坦軍方發動空襲，至少50人死亡

Airstrikes in Pakistan's restive North Waziristan tribal region have killed at least 50 people.

Officials tell VOA the Pakistani military targeted confirmed militant hideouts Wednesday in Mir Ali and Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan near the Afghan border.

Officials speaking to the media did not disclose names, but said important terrorist commanders were among those killed in the strikes.

Independent verification of the death toll is difficult as journalists are not allowed to enter the area.

North Waziristan is a known stronghold of the Taliban and other militants linked to al-Qaeda.巴基斯坦空襲了局勢動盪的北瓦濟里斯坦部落區，至少50人喪生。

有關官員對美國之音說，巴基斯坦軍方星期三空襲了位於米爾阿里和米蘭沙赫確信是激進分子的藏身地。米蘭沙赫鄰近阿富汗邊界，是北瓦濟里斯坦的主要城鎮。

巴基斯坦官員說，死於空襲的人中包括重要的恐怖組織指揮官，但官員沒有向媒體透露姓名。

由於當局不準記者進入該地區，空襲死亡人數無法得到獨立消息來源的證實。

北瓦濟里斯坦是塔利班以及與基地組織有聯繫的其他激進分子的根據地。
