At least five terrorists were killed by security forces during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Mashkai area of Balochistan’s Awaran district, said the Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The military’s media wing added that a hideout of the terrorists was also destroyed during the operation and a “<\/span>cache of arms, ammunition and explosives was recovered”.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, a sanitisation operation was being carried out to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity forces of Pakistan, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts of sabotaging peace, stability and progress of Balochistan,\u201d the ISPR said.<\/span><\/p>\n

It should be noted that this year, security forces executed<\/a> \u00a0IBOs across Pakistan, resulting in the elimination of 566 terrorists and the arrest of 5,161 others.<\/span><\/p>\n

While evidence linked recent terrorist incidents to sanctuaries in Afghanistan, effective intelligence operations contributed to the reintegration of key figures into the national mainstream.<\/span><\/p>\n
