Early morning air strikes by fighter jets in Khyber agency on Thursday killed 37 terrorists and injured 18, according to military sources.
The air strikes hit terrorist hideouts and the sources said those who were killed were involved in the recent bomb blast in Sabzi Mandi in the capital, the bombing of policemen in Charsadda and the killing of security officials in Peshawar.
