Pakistani jets bombed militant hideouts in a north-western tribal area early on Thursday, killing at least 15 Taleban insurgents, officials said.
The jets targeted hideouts in the Upper Orakzai area and destroyed four compounds in the rugged terrain near the Afghan border.
'Two war planes were sent to the area early this morning after reports from local intelligence sources that militants from Tehreek-e-Taleban Pakistan (TTP) were hiding in the mountainous region,' a senior military officer told AFP.
'The bombings targeted Khadizai, Samarbazar and Bermela areas and destroyed four hideouts,' he said adding that at least 15 militants were killed.
