The sources said that the strikes were carried out strictly to achieve operational objectives and were not a response to any particular public statement.
They said Pakistani forces would continue targeting militant positions inside Afghanistan until all operational objectives are met.
Pakistan has so far carried out 58 operations in Afghanistan as part of ongoing counterterrorism efforts, added security sources.
During these operations, 226 militant check posts have been destroyed, while Pakistani forces have raised their flag over 36 captured posts, they added.
The sources also said that threats attributed to the banned militant outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are being circulated to intimidate the public. –Agencies
