'Combined strikes by Pakistan army and ground forces continued the hunt for fleeing terrorists through a chase and cordon operation,' Dawn quoted Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) DG Lt. Gen. Asim Bajwa as saying.
Pakistan Army launched a ground offensive in North Waziristan Agency's mountainous Shawal Valley at the end of last year.
The valley is regarded as the last haven of fleeing homegrown militants and their foreign cohorts.
