despite main roads in the area being closed.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Pakistani army and the Taliban meanwhile claimed to be inflicting heavy casualties on each other as fierce fighting raged on the second day of a military assault on the region, an al-Qaida and Taliban sanctuary close to the Afghan border.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the Chunda checkpoint close to Dera Ismael Khan on Sunday, a small number of pick-up trucks passed through each hour. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Pakistani military checked the ID cards of people in the trucks, which were loaded with livestock and family members. \u003cbr/\u003ePakistan's military has closed roads in the area to enable free troop movements for its push into South Waziristan, and people fleeing the region said the closures had forced families to travel on mountain roads instead. \u003cbr/\u003eMountain roads in Pakistan's tribal areas are unpaved and precarious in comparison to the main roads. \u003cbr/\u003eAs the Pakistani military continued its military offensive in South Waziristan province, some people in Dera Ismail Khan commented on the operation.\u003cbr/\u003eOne man said he thought the offensive to be a positive step, saying: \"we expect peace in Pakistan and we think that this operation will finish terrorism in Pakistan\".  \u003cbr/\u003eTwo other men however said their thoughts were with displaced people who were trying to leave their homes due to the military action.\u003cbr/\u003eA Pakistani army statement said 60 militants had been killed on the first day of the operation, while six soldiers had died. \u003cbr/\u003eIt said the army had secured high regions close to Razmak, where the army has had a base for several years, and destroyed six militant anti-aircraft gun positions.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the Taliban claimed to have inflicted \"heavy casualties\" on the army and to have pushed invading soldiers back into their bases.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was not possible to independently verify the conflicting claims because the army is blocking access to the battlefield and surrounding towns.\u003cbr/\u003eAccounts from residents and those fleeing on Sunday suggested that the 30-thousand Pakistani troops deployed were in for a bloodier time than in the Swat Valley, another northwestern region that the army successfully wrested away from insurgents earlier this year.\u003cbr/\u003eThe army is up against about 10-thousand local militants and about 1,500 foreign fighters, most of them from Central Asia. \u003cbr/\u003eThey control roughly 1,275 square miles (3,310 square kilometres) of territory, or about half of South Waziristan, in areas loyal to former militant chief Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US missile strike in August.\u003cbr/\u003eThe outcome of the operation in South Waziristan stands to shape the future of nuclear-armed Pakistan and the militant groups seeking to topple its US-backed government. \u003cbr/\u003eThe region is home to jihadists thought to be behind increasing numbers of attacks around the country, as well as al-Qaida and other extremists believed to be plotting strikes in the West.\u003cbr/\u003eOfficials have said they envisage the operation will last two months, after which winter weather will make fighting difficult.\u003cbr/\u003eA resident in Wana - the main town in South Waziristan and in the heart of Taliban-held territory - said the insurgents had left the town and were stationed on the borders of the region, determined to block any army advance.\u003cbr/\u003eIntelligence officials said on Saturday that the ground troops were advancing on two flanks and a northern front of a central part of South Waziristan controlled by the Mehsuds. \u003cbr/\u003eThe areas being surrounded include the insurgent bases of Ladha and Makeen, the officials said.\u003cbr/\u003eAt least 150-thousand civilians have left in recent months after the army made clear it was planning an assault, but as many as 350-thousand could still be in the region. \u003cbr/\u003eThe United Nations has been stockpiling relief supplies in a town near the region, but authorities are not expecting a major refugee crisis like the one that occurred during the offensive this year in the Swat Valley.\u003cbr/\u003eOver the last three months, the Pakistani air force has been bombing targets, including the town of Makeen, a Taliban stronghold in South Waziristan, while the army has said it has sealed off many Taliban supply and escape routes.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
