巴基斯坦军方说，对在靠近阿富汗边境的西北部落地区的外国和本地激进分子发动了全面行动。这一行动实际上结束了政府同激进分子谈判的政策。
行动开始前，上星期激进分子攻击了卡拉奇的一个机场，导致近40人死亡，包括10名攻击者。
来自中亚国家乌兹别克斯坦的激进分子和巴基斯坦塔利班声称对袭击负责。
巴基斯坦军方没有公布在部落地区新行动的规模。也没有说明结果会如何。
星期天早些时候，军方表示，在北瓦济里斯坦发动了一系列黎明前的攻击，打死80名恐怖分子，死者多数是乌兹别克人。
Pakistan's army says it has started a "comprehensive operation" against foreign and local militants in the northwestern tribal region bordering Afghanistan, a move that effectively ends the government's policy of negotiating with militants.
News of the operation follows last week's militant attack on an airport in Karachi that left nearly 40 people dead, including 10 assailants.
Militants from the central Asian state of Uzbekistan, along with the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for a raid.
The military has not released information on the scope of their new operation, in the tribal region, or what it will entail.
Earlier Sunday, the army said it carried out a series of pre-dawn attacks in North Waziristan in which 80 "terrorists, mostly Uzbek foreigners" were killed.
