“The killed terrorists remained actively involved in terrorist activities against security forces and target killing of innocent civilians,” the ISPR said.

It added that sanitisation of the area was being carried out to eliminate other militants.

On Tuesday, at least five people, including a policeman, were killed in an attack on a police station by militants in the province.

Balochistan, bordering Iran and Afghanistan, has become the hotbed of terror activities by terrorists and separatist outfits, and the violence has only increased since the outlawed militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ended a ceasefire with the government in 2022.
