ISLAMABAD: Security forces on Sunday killed six terrorists belonging to Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) during a search operation in the Paroom area in district Panjgur of Balochistan, the military’s public affairs wing said in a statement.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the forces conducted an operation on a tip-off regarding the presence of terrorists in Central Makran Mountain Range near Paroom.
“Once the troops started a clearance operation in the area, terrorists tried to escape from their hideout and opened fire on security forces,” the statement said.
The BLF terrorists were killed during an exchange of fire, it added.
The ISPR said the slain terrorists were involved in attacks on checkposts of security forces as well as improvised explosives device attacks on security convoys in Paroom and surrounding areas of Panjgur.
The forces also recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition which, according to the ISPR, were to be used by terrorists for disrupting peace in the area.
“Security forces, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace, stability, and progress of Balochistan,” the military statement said.
