At least 10 suspected militants were killed and 15 injured when Pakistani security forces launched a massive aerial assault Thursday in parts of Khyber tribal region, media reported.
The airstrikes in Bara tehsil were aimed at the militants involved in recent attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and in parts of Punjab, Dawn online reported citing security sources.
