According to the sources, M-4 rifles, machine guns, hand grenades and communication equipment were recovered from the possession of the killed terrorists. A search and clearance operation is currently underway in the area to locate any remaining militants who may have fled during the operation.
Security sources said that efforts would continue against militants involved in activities aimed at disrupting peace and security in Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan.
It is mentioned here that in the current week, security forces also conducted a successful operation against Fitna-al-Hindustan terrorists in the Siyachang area of Chagai under Operation Radd-ul-Fitna III, killing two terrorists, arresting two facilitators and recovering a large quantity of arms and ammunition.
According to sources, security forces have killed two terrorists during an intelligence-based operation in the Siyah Chang area of Chagai under Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad III.
