The strikes were launched against "terrorist hideouts" in restive Khyber and North Waziristan regions on the border with Afghanistan.
"According to details at 0200 hours jet aircrafts destroyed two hideouts close to Pak-Afghan border in Khyber killing 10 terrorists," the Pakistani military said in a statement quoted by AFP, adding that "at 0500 hours three hideouts were destroyed in Hassu Khel in North Waziristan Agency killing 20 terrorists."
The strikes bring the estimated insurgent toll to 280, but the identity of those killed usually cannot be confirmed.
Meanwhile, more than 200,000 people are believed to be still stranded in the tribal areas amid the ongoing military operation, according to local Disaster Management Authority.
