The Taliban dissolved the North Waziristan peace agreement with the government. The military said it killed 15 Taliban fighters during airstrikes in South Waziristan and eight more in Swat, while a tribal lashkar killed 21 more in Kurram. Sixteen civilians and two policemen were wounded in a bombing in Buner. The military will not deploy forces to the northwest from the Indian border.
