Airstrikes by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Tuesday killed at least six suspected militants in the Rajgal area of Khyber Agency's Tirah Valley close to the Pak-Afghan border.
According to the Dawn, a security source said that PAF jets struck hideouts of the militants in Tirah valley.
Several terrorists were also injured in the air strikes, the source added.
Khyber Agency and North Waziristan are among Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous tribal districts near the Afghan border, rampant with homegrown insurgents and foreign militants.
