34 militants killed

On Wednesday, 34 militants killed in air strikes on a tribal region near the Afghan border.

The Taliban and Lashkar-e-Islam militant groups are based in Khyber, one of seven autonomous tribal districts along Pakistan's western border, which became a hideout for Islamist militants following the US-led invasion of neighbouring Afghanistan in 2001.

The military began its latest offensive in Khyber in October 2014, four months after a similar operation in the North Waziristan district which was triggered by a bloody Taliban attack on Karachi airport that sank faltering peace talks.

Both conflict zones are off-limits to journalists, making it difficult to verify the number and identity of those killed.
