The spokesman of banned outfit Lashker-e-Islam, Salahuddin Ayubi was also killed in air strikes in remote Tirah Valley, said ISPR.

Pakistan has been battling Islamist groups in its semi-autonomous tribal belt since 2004 after its army entered the region to search for Al-Qaeda fighters who had fled across the border following the US-led invasion of Afghanistan.
