[DAWN] At least 11 suspected forces of Evil were killed in military Arclight airstrikes on Sunday in the restive North Wazoo tribal region, a statement said.

According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), two hard boy hideouts were also destroyed. These claims, however, could not be independently verified as journalists have limited access to the tribal agency.

Earlier on August 30, at least 32 suspected forces of Evil had been killed and three hard boy hideouts were destroyed by army aviation's gunship helicopters in a remote area of Bangidar in North Waziristan.

In separate Arclight airstrikes in the Khyber Agency's Kuki Khel area, at least 10 suspected forces of Evil were killed, an ISPR statement said.

Three hard boy hideouts were also destroyed, the statement added.
