Five terrorists were killed in an intelligence based operation (IBO) by the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) in the Dasht area of Mastung District in Balochistan on January 19, reports Aaj TV. According to a CTD spokesperson, the operation was launched after receiving credible information about the presence of terrorists in the area. A heavy exchange of fire took place between Security Forces (SFs) and the terrorists during the raid. Seven other terrorists managed to escape, taking advantage of darkness and the nearby mountainous terrain. SFs personnel recovered five Kalashnikov rifles, seven hand grenades and three motorcycles from the hideout of the slain militants.
