Security forces killed four terrorists during an intelligence-grounded operation in the area of Jhallar Fort in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North Waziristan quarter on the night between March 27 and March 28, the service’s media affairs sect said on Monday.
According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was conducted on the base of the reported presence of terrorists in the Jhallar Fort’s general area.
While the operation was underway, four terrorists were killed during a violent exchange of fire, the statement said, adding that one of the terrorists had been linked as Zar Saadullah.
The”identification of the remaining terrorists is in progress,” the statement said.
It added that munitions and security were planted in the possession of the killed terrorists, who were” laboriously involved in terrorism conditioning against security forces”.
” Locals of the area appreciated the operation and expressed their full support to exclude the imminence of terrorism from the area,” the statement read.
The incident comes just days after four dogfaces were martyred in North Waziristan’s Hassan Khel area during an exchange of fire with terrorists who had tried to insinuate Pakistan from Afghanistan.
The ISPR had said at the time that the terrorist’s attempt was baffled and according to intelligence reports, they had” suffered heavy casualties”.
