Pakistani jets and ground forces killed 67 militants in a northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border, officials said, days after the Taliban killed 148 people - mostly children - in a school massacre.
The mass attack on children has stunned the country and brought cries for retribution.
In the past few days the military have struck a number of targets in the Khyber region, and approved the death penalty for six convicted terrorists.
Khyber borders Peshawar, where the massacre took place, and militants traditionally attacked the city before fleeing into the tribal area where they cannot be chased.
The government is appearing to demonstrate its commitment to fighting terrorism, but this was somewhat undermined by the decision to grant bail to the main suspect in the Mumbai terror attacks, Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi. The government said it is trying to cancel the bail.
The boxer said it was the "least he could do" and even donated the £30,000 shorts he wore in his last fight against Devon Alexander.
Pakistan have released intelligence of the final conversations by the Taliban attackers responsible for the Peshawar school massacre.
As forensics examine the evidence in the school were 148 people, mainly children, where killed, students prepare to return to the classroom.
