RAWALPINDI: The security forces eliminated six militants in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Dera Ismail Khan's general area Kulachi, a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday. 

According to the military's media wing, the forces also recovered weapons and ammunition from the killed terrorists who were gunned down in an intense fire exchange.

"The killed terrorists remained actively involved in various terrorist activities against security forces, police and innocent civilians," it added.

The communique also said that the armed assailants were also highly wanted for conducting a raid on a police checkpost in Kulachi on April 11 2022, which resulted in the martyrdom of five brave police constables.

"Sanitisation of the area is being carried out to eliminate any terrorists found in the area," the ISPR said, adding that the security forces are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism.
