RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Army killed seven terrorists in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) carried out on a hideout in North Waziristan (NW). Four soldiers, an officer among them, were martyred in the operation, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Wednesday.
On confirmed intelligence about presence of terrorists in a hideout near Datta Khel, North Waziristan District, security forces conducted an IBO in Mama Ziarat, seven kilometres southwest of Datta khel, the ISPR said.

In the intense exchange of fire, four security forces personnel embraced Shahadat (martyrdom), including an officer, while one soldier got injured. A large cache of arms, ammunition and improvised explosive devices were recovered from the hideout during clearance.
