Quetta: Pakistani security forces have shot down eight terrorists in Balochistan’s Mazaaband Range, media reports said on Friday.
According to a statement issued by the military’s media wing, terrorists had attempted to ambush a convoy of security forces in the Kech District of Balochistan on Wednesday evening, reports Geo News.
“While alert and combat-ready troops not only foiled this cowardly attempt without any loss of life, they also immediately commenced a follow-up operation to hunt down the fleeing terrorists using ground and aviation assets,” read the statement.
The ISPR said that a suspected hideout of terrorists was identified in Mazaaband Range today morning, where a sanitisation operation was launched.
“In ensuing, heavy exchange of fire, eight terrorists have been killed while a large cache of arms and ammunition including explosives has also been recovered,” it added.
Pakistan is witnessing a rise in terrorism ever since the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended the ceasefire late last year.
