Intense Firefight Leads to Militant Elimination
The operation, conducted in the Tank District, turned deadly when security forces encountered heavy resistance from entrenched terrorists. According to official statements, three militants were killed during the intense exchange of fire that lasted several hours.
The successful operation came after credible intelligence indicated that terrorists were planning to launch attacks on sensitive installations and security forces in the region.
Weapons Cache Uncovered
Following the elimination of the terrorists, security forces conducted a thorough search of the area, recovering substantial weapons and ammunition. The seized arsenal included:
