Troops backed by fighter jets pounded several hideouts of suspected militants in Shawal, a town located in the restive North Waziristan tribal area along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, Dawn quoted an Inter-Services Public Relations statement.
Saturday's air strikes were a continuation of the ongoing operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan which has so far killed over 3,000 militants.
According to an earlier statement by the director general of Inter-Services Public Relation, the army's media wing, the operation in Shawal town was the last push against militants as the nearly 17-month long offensive has entered its final phase as most of the areas in North Waziristan have been cleared of militants.
