ISLAMABAD, Feb 8 (NNN-APP) – Twelve terrorists were killed in an armed offensive of the Pakistani army, in the country’s north-west Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the military said, in a statement today.
In the overnight operation, the security forces targeted a vehicle of the terrorists, associated with the proscribed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, by acting on an intelligence tip-off, the military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
“The terrorists’ movements and activities were being watched by intelligence tentacles for the past week. The terrorists were lured in by providing a vehicle for escape, that was intercepted and neutralised,” the ISPR said.
Weapons, ammunition, and foreign currency were also recovered from the terrorists during the operation, the statement added.
Security Forces are carrying out clearance operations in the area, the ISPR said.
