Pakistani Army airstrikes kill 34 militants

Pakistani airstrikes pounded militant hideouts in a tribal region along the Afghan border, killing 34 terrorists, the Army said on Wednesday.

Air force jets bombed several areas in remote Tirah Valley of the Khyber tribal region, an Army statement said.

The airstrikes are part of the military’s stepped-up efforts since a militant attack in December killed 150 people, mostly children, at an Army-run school in Peshawar city.
