Pakistan's military moves further into South Waziristan striking Taliban targets by air. This military progress was brought upon after 6 major attacks on Pakistani security installations in the past 12 days. These mountainous terrain is prime conditions for Taliban militants but with the aid of new imaging systems for the F-16s the attacks are more precise. The United States provided the Pakistani army with this new technology but will not give a statement due to the anti-american sentiment in Pakistan. Both sides of this battle provided different accounts for death rates, which can't be truly confirmed, but is used as a mental tactic to keep up moral. Many Taliban forces are being called into the area to counter the military attacks which heightens the violence, but many civilians have fled the area to safer locations in the north.
