Peshawar, Oct 21: Jet fighters targeted militant hideouts in Pakistan's North Waziristan Agency which killed at least 30 suspected militants, media reports said on Tuesday.

 A suspected Taliban commander was also killed  in the attack.

"Daud Matta, a key Taliban commander, was also killed in the strike which took place in North Waziristan\'s Datta Khel area," Dawn News reported quoting sources.

"The media has no access to the agency, making it difficult to verify the information from independent sources. The ISPR is yet to issue details of the operation," it said.
