KHARAN: Six terrorists, including two ‘commanders’, were killed in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted by the Frontier Corps in the Kharan area of Balochistan on Friday, the military’s media affairs wing said.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that on confirmed intelligence about the presence of terrorists in a hideout near Kharan, the FC Balochistan South conducted the IBO. As soon as the troops cordoned off the area, terrorists opened fire in their attempt to flee the hideout. During an intense exchange of fire, six terrorists including two commanders, Gul Mir alias Pullen and Kaleemullah Bolani, were killed.

A large cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from the hideout, the ISPR said.
