According to the ISPR, the security forces launched an operation against a hideout of terrorists in South Waziristan, who were involved in planting IEDs, conducting fire raids and target killing of innocent civilians.
“Four commanders were among the 10 militants killed in the operation during an exchange of fire,” the army’s media wing said while elaborating on the raid and added that weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the hideout.
It further said that the slain terrorists were planning to conduct more acts of terrorism inside the South Waziristan district. The ISPR vowed that Pakistan Army was determined to root out the menace of terrorism from the country at all costs.
