Miranshah: At least 22 militants were killed Saturday when fighter jets bombarded six insurgent hideouts in North Waziristan´s Shawal area, security officials said.
"Fighter jets precisely hit the Taliban´s hideouts at separate locations in Shawal," a security official in Peshawar told AFP.
"Six of their hideouts and an unknown number of vehicles were also destroyed in the air strikes," the official added.
A second security official confirmed the air strikes and death toll. Both officials spoke to AFP on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to media.
