Two key Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commanders were killed in a successful operation by security forces in Peshawar on Thursday, security officials said.
The security officials told a private TV channel that the security forces were conducting a search operation in the Frontier Region of Peshawar near Mattani when they clashed with the militants, leaving one security official and two militants dead.
The officials identified the two key militant commanders as Roohul Amin and Adnan alias Hurera, both TTP commanders.
The operation followed a late night attack by dozens of suspected Taliban militants on a security checkpost in Shamshato area near Peshawar Frontier Region (FR), killing six Frontier Constabulary (FC) soldiers and leaving 12 others injured.
