The airstrikes are part of ongoing operation Zarb-e-Azb against foreign and local militants in North Waziristan, a tribal region near the Afghan border that is used as a base by the insurgents to attack the rest of Pakistan.
Militants who carry out attacks on both sides of the border have long been based in Pakistan s remote western tribal regions.
