"Air force jets targeted six hideouts of the militants in Shawal area. In these precise strikes 27 terrorists were killed. There is no civil population in the area," military spokesman Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa said.
The military said they shot dead seven militants trying to flee Mir Ali, a major town in North Waziristan. Another three were killed by soldiers when they were planting roadside bombs near Miranshah.
Military suffered its first casualties when six soldiers were killed in a bomb blast in Ghulam Khan.
140 terrorists were killed in yesterday's precision strikes in Degan-Boya, said Bajwa. Most of those killed were Uzbek militants fighting along with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) rebels.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said he will not allow Pakistan to become a "sanctuary of terrorists" and asserted that the military operation against the Taliban would continue until militants are eliminated.
"We will not allow Pakistan to become a sanctuary of terrorists," Sharif announced.
Meanwhile, Taliban warned all international organisations and individuals to leave the country or face violence as it was in a "state of war".
"Many East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) terrorists and their affiliates have also been killed in the strikes. It was a massive blow to the terrorists and one of their main communication centres has been dismantled," Bajwa said.
Bajwa said three soldiers were injured last night in exchange of fire with terrorists around Mir Ali.
"No operation in civil populated areas has been started so far. North Waziristan Agency has been isolated by deploying troops along its border with neighbouring agencies and FATA regions to block any move of terrorists in and out of the Agency," he said.
