\nTwo terrorists were killed in separate operations conducted by security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Wednesday night, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
\nIn a brief statement released on Thursday, the ISPR said that a terrorist ring leader named Shamrooz alias Sheenay was gunned down in an intense exchange of fire between the militants and security forces during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber district.
\nMeanwhile, another terrorist named Mansoor was also neutralised in a separate operation in the Dera Ismail Khan district, the military\u2019s media wing stated.
\nIt said that the slain terrorists remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces as well as extortion and target killings of innocent civilians, and were highly wanted by law enforcement agencies.
\nThe statement said that weapons, ammunition, and explosives were also recovered from the slain terrorists.
\nISPR further stated that sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other terrorists found in the area.
\nThe area locals appreciated the operations conducted by the forces and expressed their full support to the military in eliminating the menace of terrorism.
\nPakistan witnessed a spike in terrorist attacks in Balochistan and KP provinces during the past few months which also marred the pre-election phase in some provincial pockets.
\nIn response, the security forces also intensified actions against the terrorism-hit areas and achieved success by restoring peace in the affected parts, especially in areas bordering Afghanistan.
\nLast week, three terrorists were gunned down and four others injured during an exchange of fire with Pakistani security forces in an IBO in KP\u2019s Karak district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
