Seven terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Turbat’s Gorchop area in Balochistan, the military’s media affairs wing said on Tuesday. In a statement, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that security forces conducted an operation to apprehend “externally sponsored enemies of peace in Balochistan” after receiving information about a terrorists’ hideout in “general area Gorchop”. “Once the troops started [the]clearance operation in the area, terrorists tried to escape from their camp and opened indiscriminate fire onto security forces,” the statement said.
