Sources report that women and children were among the dead, with an opposition MP claiming the strike was a failed counterterrorism operation
Pakistan police and security sources said an aerial bombing in a remote border region killed at least 23 civilians on Monday in an area where militancy has been rising.
Opposition MPs accused the military of carrying out the night raid as part of a counter-terrorism operation, but no official statement has been released by the government or armed forces.
Pakistani Taliban (TTP) militants have in recent months stepped up a campaign of violence against security forces in the mountainous areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province that border Afghanistan.
