At least two terrorists were gunned down and another halted in an exchange of fire between security forces and militants in Balochistan’s Mach, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday.
According to the military’s media wing, an intelligence-based sanitization operation had been started on April 7 to intercept a group of terrorists operating in Mach, West of Sibi.
“The terrorists are linked with the targeting of civilians in the area besides harassment of coal mine owners to extort money from them,” the statement added.
The ISPR further said that based on credible information, multiple traps had been laid along different routes in the area frequented by the terrorists for the last two days.
Resultantly, a party of three terrorists was intercepted while moving towards their hideout, adding that they opened fire on the security forces on being blocked.
“During the ensuing exchange of fire, two terrorists were sent to hell while another has been detained; a cache of arms and ammunition has also been recovered,” the military’s media wing said.
