Two terrorists were gunned down in two different operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s North and South Waziristan districts on Saturday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Sunday.
In North Waziristan’s general area Razmak, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location amid an intense fire exchange with militants, leaving one dead as a result, the statement read. The military’s media wing added that the security forces also recovered weapons and ammunition from the killed terrorist.
Meanwhile, in the fierce encounter between troops and terrorists in South Waziristan’s general area Karama, the law enforcers effectively engaged the terrorists’ location, killing one in the shootout, the statement added.
However, Naik Fazal Janan — a 32-year-old resident of Hangu District — fought gallantly and embraced martyrdom during the shootout.
Sanitisation of the area, according to the ISPR, is being carried out to eliminate any other terrorists found in the location.
“Pakistan’s security forces are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,” the military’s statement read.
