MIRANSHAH: A long-standing curfew in Pakistan’s troubled North Wazirstan tribal region has been tightened following the start of a ground offensive, with authorities issuing shoot-on-sight orders according to residents and local intelligence officials.
At least two people have been critically wounded after soldiers opened fire on them for violating the curfew in Sarai Darpa Khel village near Miranshah, residents said.
A curfew had previously been in place for several years but in reality the military only carried out patrols during the day and remained in their bases at night, allowing militants free movement.
