Pakistani forces say they have seized control of the town of Kaniguram in South Waziristan, one of the Taliban's key regional strongholds.
The army said it had full control of the town, the latest capture in an offensive against militants that began in South Waziristan on 17 October.
The offensive has sparked a string of suicide bomb attacks.
About 35 people were killed in an attack in Rawalpindi and seven were injured on the outskirts of Lahore.
