QUETTA: The Pakistan armed forces have killed six Fitna al-Hindustan terrorists in the Dalbandin area of district Chagai in Balochistan, security sources told Geo News on Wednesday.

Security forces launched a timely and precise operation after tracking the formation hiding in the mountains through aerial reconnaissance, they added.

The operation completely dismantled the formation, reducing threats to forces and civilians, security sources said.

In a separate operation in Bajaur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan forces eliminated hideouts and tunnels of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) alias Fitna al-Khawarij.

Several others fled the area after suffering injuries during the exchange of fire.

During the operation, forces also recovered weapons, explosive materials and communication equipment used by the terrorists.
