More than 100 militants have been killed in four days of heavy fighting in a tribal area near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, officials say.
Pakistan said nine of its soldiers were killed in the battles in Bajaur.
Fighter jets, helicopter gunships and artillery were all reportedly used to pound the militants' positions in the strategically important area.
The Pakistani Taleban say that only seven of their men died. Neither claim has been independently verified.
Security has deteriorated sharply in recent weeks along the frontier, which the Afghan government and Nato say is a haven for al-Qaeda and Taleban militants.
Talks between Pakistan's new government and Taleban leaders broke down in June.
