Military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan said that several foreign fighters were killed and injured. He said that security forces retrieved the body of a foreign militant and recovered arms and ammunition.
He said the action was part of continuing operations and denied some news reports that a new assault had begun.
The operations were in response to an attack on a military post on 9 June that left 14 security personnel dead. Some 65 militants and 18 soldiers were killed during the fighting. Since mid-July, security agencies have arrested more than 60 Al-Qaeda suspects in urban centers in Pakistan.
