According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), an intense exchange of fire took place between the security forces and terrorists during the operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSix terrorists were sent to hell, while one soldier also got injured,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities including target killing as well as extortion and abduction of innocent civilians,\u201d the ISPR said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA sanitization operation is being conducted to wipe out any other terrorists found in the area,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Locals of the area appreciated the operation and expressed their full support to eliminate the menace of terrorism, the statement added.<\/p>\n
