Pakistan's army says its jets have killed at least 18 militants as part of an ongoing offensive to eliminate militants' hideouts and ammunition stockpiles in the Khyber tribal region, AP reported.
An army statement Sunday says the jets destroyed five such hideouts with 'precise strikes' during the offensive late Saturday night.
Besides the militants killed, the army said the strikes destroyed huge caches of arms and ammunition hidden in various parts of the region, near the Afghan border.
