Pakistan: 5 terrorists killed during operations conducted in North and South Waziristan
South Waziristan: At least five terrorists were killed by security forces during intelligence-based operations carried out in Pakistan's North and South Waziristan, media reports said on Saturday.
In a press release the Inter Services Public Relations was quoted as saying by Dawn News: “On March 10, IBOs were conducted by security forces in North and South Waziristan districts. During conduct of the operations, five terrorists were killed after intense fire exchange.”
The ISPR added that weapons, ammunition and a “large quantity of equipment” were also recovered from them.
“Pakistan Army is determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism from every inch of our territory with an unflinching resolve,” the statement said.
The operations took place at a time when Pakistan is witnessing a surge in terror activities ever since the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended its ceasefire with the government in November.
