June 29 (Reuters) - Pakistan's security forces carried out ground and air operations along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Sunday, killing at least 29 militants, while the Afghan Taliban said dozens had been killed in air strikes in its border areas.• Four fighters linked to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar were killed in the ground attacks, Pakistan Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on X early on Monday. The group is a faction of the Pakistani Taliban.

Pakistani officials say security forces have targeted militant hideouts in a major operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
