Jet fighters pounded suspected militant sanctuaries destroying three of them while 11 suspected militants were also killed on Wednesday during the Zarb-i-Azb operation in the North Waziristan tribal region.
The death toll, however, could not be independently verified.
First time since the launch of this operation, Miramshah, the main town in North Waziristan, was opened for national and international media as media personnel, particularly from the television networks, were allowed to take shots of several destroyed militant hideouts.
So far more than 400 suspected militants, mostly foreigners, have been killed during the operation while at least 19 IED-making factories have also been unearthed by security forces in parts of Miramshah.
