PESHAWAR: Security forces killed seven suspected terrorists in North Waziristan and Mohmand tribal districts in two operations spread over Monday night and Tuesday.

According to the Inter Services Public Relations, security forces cordoned off North Waziristan’s Idel Khel village after being tipped off about the “presence of terrorists”. Four of the suspects were shot dead when they tried to escape the cordon.

In the other operation, security forces killed three terror suspects during a raid in Mohmand tribal district, according to ISPR.

The security forces recovered improvised explosive devices (IEDs), night vision goggles, hate material and Indian medicines from the hideout.
