Security forces eliminated two terrorists during an intense exchange of fire in South Waziristan district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Wednesday.
“On 09 April 24, Security Forces conducted an intelligence based operation in South Waziristan District,” read a statement issued by the military’s media wing.
During the conduct of the operation, the ISPR said two terrorists were successfully neutralised and “sent to hell” following an intense fire exchange.
Weapons along with a large quantity of explosives were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area, it added.
“Sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other terrorist found in the area as security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe-out the menace of terrorism from the country.”
On Sunday, security forces killed two terrorists during an exchange of fire that took place on the night of April 6 and 7 between the security forces and terrorists in North Waziristan, as per the military's media wing.
Similarly, security forces neutralised 10 terrorists in two separate intelligence-base operations in KP's Dera Ismail Khan and Panjgur district of Balochistan, the ISPR said in a statement on April 6.
During the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, KP and Balochistan provinces accounted for over 92% of all fatalities and 86% of attacks (including incidents of terrorism and security forces operations).
