QUETTA – The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has successfully eliminated 14 terrorists in separate operations in Quetta and Barkhan cities of Balochistan.
The operation in Quetta’s Darakhshan area resulted in the death of 8 terrorists following an exchange of fire. Three CTD personnel were injured in the clash and were immediately transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The spokesperson further revealed that a large cache of weapons and ammunition was recovered from the slain militants. It is believed that the terrorists were linked to a banned organization, though investigations are ongoing.
In a separate operation in Barkhan, CTD conducted an intelligence-based raid that led to the killing of 6 more terrorists.
The spokesperson confirmed that the terrorists were involved in subversive activities, and weapons and explosives were seized from their possession.
