Eight terrorists were killed and a soldier was martyred during an intelligence-based operation in the Shinwarsak area of South Waziristan district, the military’s media affairs wing said on Wednesday.
According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations, an intense exchange of fire took place between security personnel and terrorists during the operation.
“Own troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location and eight terrorists, including terrorist commander Jan Muhammad alias Chargh, were sent to hell,” the statement said.
It added that 31-year-old Sepoy Hamid Rasool, a resident of Rawalpindi district, was martyred during the gun battle with the terrorists while another four security personnel, including two officers, were injured.
