The local Urdu TV channel Dunya said that the first operation was launched on Tuesday morning when troops backed with gunship helicopters pounded at least three militants' hideouts in the Mamozai area of Orakzai Agency, a semi-autonomous tribal area in northwest Pakistan.
Altogether 14 militants were killed and several others injured during the operation. No loss of life was reported on the side of security forces.
Later, in another military operation, troops killed four militants and injured four others in the Tirah Valley area of Khyber agency, a tribal area sharing common border with Afghanistan from its northern side.
The tribal area of Pakistan is a restive zone where clashes between troops and militants take place frequently. The Pakistan army is striving hard to clear the area from the hold of militants while the militants are combating with full force to retain their influence in the area.
In this warfare hundreds of people have lost their lives and thousands became homeless.
