Fighter jets targeted remnants of the Pakistani Taliban in the Orakzai region, Dawn quoted Samiullah Khan, a local administrator, as saying.

He said some militants were also wounded in the attacks.

Pakistan launched an operation in Orakzai in mid-March against militants who fled last year from an army offensive in the South Waziristan tribal region.
