RAWALPINDI: Pakistan’s security forces have killed at least five terrorists and also recovered a cache of arms and ammunition in in general area Hoshab, Balochistan, said the ISPR on Friday.
The media wing of the military said that on night 11/12 May 2023, terrorists had fire raided a security forces’ post in general area Hoshab, Balochistan. Having successfully repulsed the distant fire raid, the escaping terrorists were pursued into the nearby mountains of Balore, using aerial surveillance means.
As a follow up, during an encircling operation launched to cut off the fleeing terrorists, a heavy fire exchange took place between the terrorists and the security forces. “During the skirmish, five terrorists have been sent to hell so far and cache of arms and ammunition has been recovered,” said the ISPR. The operation, however, continues to track few fleeing terrorists into adjoining areas, it added.
