KHAR, Pakistan — Pakistani forces bombed dozens of houses in a tribal region near the Afghan border Sunday, officials and witnesses said, in a military offensive that comes amid U.S. pressure for Pakistan to crack down on militants.

Days of clashes have reportedly killed at least 100 insurgents and nine paramilitary soldiers in the area, an insurgent stronghold considered a possible hiding place for al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri.
