[DAWN] LANDI KOTAL: At least 25 suspected bully boyz were killed and 15 injured when military planes bombed their hideouts in Tirah valley of Khyber Agency early on Tuesday, Inter-Services Public Relations said,

It further said that Pakistain Air Force planes targeted the hideouts in Wacha Wana, Mehraban Killay, Dwa Thoe, Rakgall and Tangu areas.

The ISPR claimed that nine hard boy bases and hideouts had been destroyed in the targeted localities.

The ISPR claim could not be verified independently. The bombing was in retaliation to Sunday's deadly attack on the Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...

A Jamrud-based resident of Tangu village told Dawn that at least six non-combatants, including women and kiddies, were among the dead.

Sources who did not want to be identified said a bomb struck the house of one Sameed Sherkhan Khel in Tangu at around 1.30am, killing his wife, two sons, two daughters and a niece and leaving three members of the family critically injured.
