At least five alleged terrorists of two banned organisations were killed after an exchange of heavy fire by Pakistan's Counter-terrorism Department in an operation in the wee hours of Sunday in DG Khan.

However, four accomplices of the alleged terrorists managed to escape due to bad lights, reports Geo News.

The targeted operation was carried out at ChotiBala's Rak chawni.

CTD said the operation was conducted after getting information on the presence of at least nine alleged terrorists in the area.

Two of those killed have been identified as Malik Tehseen and Kamran by the law enforcement agency.

Arms and ammunitions were recovered from the alleged terrorists in the operation.
