Security officials recover weapons, ammunition and explosives from the suspects


Rawalpindi: An army officer was martyred and three terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan’s Zhob district, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday. Security officials seized weapons, ammunition and explosives from them.
According to a press release issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces conducted an IBO in the district’s general area of Sambaza and “effectively engaged” the terrorists, adding that three were subsequently “sent to hell”.
“During the intense exchange of fire, leading his troops from the front, Major Babar Khan, 33, resident of District Mianwali, having fought gallantly, paid the ultimate sacrifice and embraced martyrdom,” the ISPR said.
It added that a sanitisation operation was being conducted to eliminate any other terrorists present in the area.
“Security forces of Pakistan, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts of sabotaging peace, stability and progress of Balochistan, and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” the ISPR concluded.
