ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan's military intensified its drive against the Taliban in the country's restive tribal regions Wednesday, reclaiming a key town in the northwest district of Buner.
Air strikes by Pakistani fighter jets killed 70 to 75 militants in the neighboring Dir district a day earlier, military spokesman Gen. Athar Abbas told reporters.
The air attacks came after the army launched an offensive against suspected militants and their hideouts in Lower Dir at the weekend. The Dir and Buner regions border the violence-plagued Swat valley.
