A statement issued by Pakistan military's Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that Pakistan fighter jets targeted militants' hideouts in Koki Khel area of Tirah Valley of Khyber region.
It said that that airstrikes also destroyed four militant hideouts. Khyber is one of the seven tribal regions of Pakistan governed by tribal laws and has been facing militants' insurgency over the recent years.
