"The strikes were conducted in surrounding areas of Qaysar and Shirin Tagab districts on Sunday. The precise strikes left six militants dead and wounded 14 others," Hanif Rezai, spokesman of army's Corps 209 Shaheen based in the region, told Xinhua.
Two militants' control and command centers along with some amount of weapons and ammunition were also destroyed, he said.
