At least nine terrorists were killed in military air strikes close to the Pak-Afghan border, the ISPR said on Tuesday.

According to the military's media wing, terrorist hideouts were also destroyed in air strikes near Barmand area of North Waziristan on late Monday.

Earlier in February, strikes were carried out in the Maizer area of the Datta Khail region of North Waziristan - area considered as the last bastion of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan militants.
