At least 21 suspected militants were killed in separate military airstrikes Sunday in North Waziristan and Khyber Agency, the Pakistan army said.
Two militant hideouts were also destroyed in North Waziristan, killing at least 11 suspected militants, Dawn online reported citing a statement of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
In separate airstrikes in Khyber Agency's Kuki Khel area, at least 10 suspected militants were killed and three militant hideouts also destroyed, the statement added.
Military operation Zarb-i-Azb was launched June 15 following a brazen militant attack on Karachi's international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) negotiators.
The Taliban and their ethnic Uzbek allies both claimed responsibility for the attack on Karachi airport.
Nearly a million people fled their homes ahead of the offensive in North Waziristan.
