At least 28 suspected militants were killed Friday and several more injured in three separate strikes by US pilotless aircraft in Pakistan's restive tribal region along the Afghan border, security officials said.
Meanwhile, a mortar attack allegedly carried out by Taliban hit a residential area in nearby Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, killing nine people, including women and children. In a retaliatory airstrike, the Pakistani military killed 10 alleged insurgents.
The drone strikes took place in the Tirah and Lakai valleys of Khyber district, one of the tribal districts where Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives are believed to have hideouts.
