The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army, said on Tuesday in a statement that the security forces launched an intelligence-based operation in the Nagao mountains of Kalat, a district in the southwestern Balochistan province.

The ISPR added that an intense exchange of fire took place between troops and the militants during the operation, which led to the killing of two terrorists, Xinhua news agency reported.

“The killed terrorists remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces and target killing of innocent civilians,” said the military, adding that a big cache of arms, ammunition and explosives was recovered from the site.
