Security forces have killed seven terrorists during an intelligence-based operation in Kharan, Balochistan, according to security sources. The operation was conducted in the Lajay area after intelligence information indicated the presence of suspected militants.
According to security sources, the operation targeted members of Fitna al-Khawarij, with seven terrorists reportedly killed and several others injured during the action. Security personnel conducted the operation after receiving information about the group’s presence in the area.
Authorities said that modern weapons, ammunition and other military equipment were recovered from the terrorists’ hideouts. The recovered material has been taken into custody as security agencies continue efforts to investigate the network and its activities.
Security sources further stated that one motorcycle and two vehicles were also found at the hideouts. The locations used by the militants were subsequently destroyed by security forces to prevent them from being used again.
