Two terrorists killed after attack on Frontier Corps camp in Pakistan's Balochistan: ISPR

Two terrorists and two security personnel were killed in a standoff after a paramilitary Frontier Corps camp was attacked by heavily-armed militants in Pakistan's restive Balochistan on Friday, media reports said.

The military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said that the militants attacked the camp in the Muslim Bagh area of Northern Balochistan, adding that an operation is currently underway with a heavy exchange of fire taking place with the armed assailants, reported Geo News.

''Currently, an operation by the security forces is underway to capture the terrorists who have been cornered into a building complex,'' it said. During the clearance operation, the military said that two soldiers were killed while another three were injured.

Two weeks ago, seven terrorists were killed as security forces gallantly fought off three assaults within a short span of time in the night between April 28 and 29 in Lakki Marwat, the ISPR said.

The attack comes amid a surge in terrorist activities across the country since the banned militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ended its ceasefire with the government in November last year.
