10 militants killed in jet bombing in Orakzai

At least ten militants killed in shelling in Orakzai Agency. Pakistani military jets struck militant hideouts in the northwest of the country on Sunday, killing 10 militants and wounding several others, military officials said. The airstrikes targeted four hideouts in the remote Ghaljo and Dabori areas of the northwestern Orakzai tribal region, the officials said. The locations were being used by members of the Pakistan Taliban. The death toll could not be independently verified and militants often dispute official figures. The Pakistan military has been conducting operations against militants in Orakzai for months.
