Four militants, involved in kidnapping and attacks on Pakistani security forces, were killed today during an exchange of fire in the troubled southwestern Balochistan province.
"The clash occurred in the Winder area of Lasbela district where a search operation was being carried out," a spokesperson for the Frontier Corps said.
He said the militants were killed during an exchange of fire with security forces.
The security personnel recovered a hand grenade and SMGs from the militants who were involved in kidnapping for ransom, extortion, attacks on security forces and other crimes.
The spokesperson didn't disclose the identities of the militants or which outfit they belonged too.
In a separate incident, two bullet-riddled bodies were found in the coastal town of Pasni near Gwadar.
The two may have been killed in an exchange of fire with security forces, the Pasni Police Station Officer (SHO) Imam Bahkash Baloch said. The two had been missing for over a year.
