Security forces on Tuesday conducted a search operation and killed seven terrorists in Quetta’s Awaran area.

According to the details, upon receiving the secret information about the presence of militants in Awaran, security forces personnel reached Kilkor to nab them.

However, the terrorists opened indiscriminate firing on the law enforcement personnel.

The security forces retaliated killing seven militants on the spot. The bodies of the militants have been shifted to a government hospital for autopsy. The identity of the terrorists could not be ascertained as yet.

Back in November, the Media wing of Pakistan Military, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that four terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in North Waziristan. ISPR added that as soon as troops cordoned off the area, terrorists opened fire in an effort to flee from the area.

However, it added, all the terrorists were killed by security forces. During intense exchange of fire, Pak Army’s Sepoy Sadam embraced martyrdom while two soldiers got injured.
