KALAT: Security forces have killed two terrorists during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Kalat district of Balochistan on the night between September 6-7 over the reported presence of terrorists, the military’s media wing said on Saturday.

During the IBO, the troops “surrounded and effectively engaged the terrorists’ location, and sent two terrorists to hell”, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed terrorists, it stated, adding that the militants were actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area against security forces as well as innocent civilians.

The troops launched a sanitisation operation in the area to neutralise any other terrorists, the ISPR said. “Security forces of Pakistan, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability and progress of Balochistan,” it concluded.
