Two militants were killed in an operation in a village in the eastern region of Paktia, and a local official told reporters that the same area of the tribal region of North Waziristan has also been cleared of terrorists.

The provincial administration had on Tuesday told media that a probe was on into the alleged explosion in the Miranshah area, and security forces had conducted an air raid on the premises of the target building to check if explosives were placed there.

Another area was sealed under anti-terrorism laws, in accordance with a court order, according to reports.
