In statement, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that terrorists were killed after an “Intense fire exchange” between them and Security Forces. Military’s media wing said that after gunning them down, Forces recovered “Weapons, ammunition and large quantity of equipment”.

“Pakistan Army is determined to eliminate menace of terrorism from every inch of our territory with an unflinching resolve,” ISPR said. With terrorism rearing its head once again in country, civil-military leadership has resolved to accelerate action against perpetrators of terror attacks in country.
