Three terrorists killed in Turbat intelligence-based operation: ISPR

Rawalpindi: At least three terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) by security forces in the Turbat area of Balochistan, the military's media affairs wing said on Tuesday.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the intelligence-based operation was conducted on the reported presence of terrorists.

“During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij [terrorists] location, as a result of which, three khwarij were sent to hell,” read the statement.  

Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the slain terrorists, the ISPR said, adding that the militants remained actively involved in numerous activities against the security forces as well as the killing of innocent civilians.

A sanitisation operation was conducted to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area as the security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country.
