In northwest Pakistan's Tank district, security forces engaged in a clash with wanted terrorists during an operation, resulting in the killing of five militants on Friday, as reported by the Inter-Services Public Relations. The operation was initiated based on intelligence about terrorist presence in the area. The slain terrorists were wanted for attacks on security forces, target killings, and extortion. Substantial quantities of arms and ammunition were seized. Clearance operations are ongoing in the region due to the potential presence of more terrorists.
