Pak security forces kill 6 terrorists

Pakistani security forces have killed six terrorists in an intelligence-based operation in Balochistan province, the military’s media wing said on Friday. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the six terrorists were killed in Panjgur district on the intervening night of June 3 and 4.

“During the conduct of (the) operation, own forces effectively engaged multiple terrorist locations. Weapons, ammunition, improvised explosive devices and (a) vehicle have also been recovered from the killed terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area,” the ISPR said.

Earlier this week, the ISPR said that Pakistani security forces have killed at least 17 suspected terrorists in the wake of a bomb attack on a shuttle train in Quetta city of the restive Balochistan province last week.

At least 16 people, including three security personnel, were killed and scores injured in the suspected vehicle-borne suicide attack on a shuttle train near a station in Quetta on May 24.
