The air strike came despite an offer of truce during the current Muslim fasting month of Ramadan announced by the government at the weekend.

A senior security official said fighter jets bombed Ghat Peochar area following intelligence that leaders of pro-Taliban Fazlullah’s group were hiding there.

Chief military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas confirmed the bombing but said he did not have details of casualties.
