A high-value terrorist and his accomplice belonging to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Sajna group were killed in an operation by security forces near South Waziristan, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday.
Mehmoodul Hassan alias Khwaja Madni and his accomplice were killed in an operation carried out in the Frontier Region of Jandola.
The security personnel recovered weapons and ammunitions from the terrorists’ hideout, said the ISPR statement.
The raid was a part of Operation Raddul Fasaad, which the army launched last month following a series of terror attacks in the country, which claimed more than a hundred lives and left hundreds of others injured.
Meanwhile, Frontier Corps (FC) personnel recovered a cache of weapons in Talli area of Balochistan’s Sibi district, the ISPR said.
During an intelligence-based operation (IBO), FC officials recovered submachine guns (SMG), pistols, hand grenades, rifles, RPG rockets, anti-tank and anti-personnel mines and 10 kilogrammes of explosives.
