Seven terrorists killed in military operations in Pakistan
Seven terrorists were killed and three others injured in separate operations by the Pakistani military across the country, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The ISPR, the media wing of Pakistan’s military, said one incident happened in the North Waziristan tribal district where a terrorist was killed in an intelligence-based operation.
The second incident took place in the neighbouring South Waziristan district, where troops intercepted terrorists trying to infiltrate through the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The incident triggered an exchange of fire, in which five terrorists were killed while three others got injured.
Meanwhile, a terrorist was killed in a clash with security forces in Pakistan’s southwest Balochistan province on Monday.
