Pakistan employs indigenous combat drone against terrorists, reportedly developed with Chinese help

Pakistan’s military says it has deployed a locally-made drone for the first time, killing three militants near the Afghan border. In a statement, the army said missiles fired by the drone had hit a compound in the North Waziristan Shawal valley. The Shawal valley has been the scene of some of the fiercest fighting between Pakistani forces and the Taliban since the launch of a massive military operation there last June. So far, more than three thousand terrorists have been killed in ongoing operation Zarb-e-Azb.
