At least 18 Indian-sponsored terrorists were killed on Wednesday in three separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) conducted by Pakistani security forces across Balochistan, according to security sources.
The first operation took place in the Gaza Band area on the outskirts of Quetta on the reported presence of terrorists.
During the operation, security forces effectively engaged the Fitna-al-Khawarij location, and after an intense fire exchange, 10 Indian sponsored khwarij were killed. Two security personnel sustained injuries during the operation.
In two other operations carried out in the Zhob and Sherani districts, 8 more terrorists were killed.
Security forces also recovered a heavy cache of weapons and ammunition from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in these areas.
