RAWALPINDI: Security Forces on Thursday killed a terrorist after conducting an Intelligence-Based Operation (IBO) in Peshawar's general area of Mattani, the Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement.

The military's media wing said that an intense fire exchange took place between troops and terrorists during the conduct of the operation.

The security forces also recovered weapons and ammunition from the terrorist.

According to the ISPR, the slain terrorist remained actively involved in terror activities against security forces and the killing of innocent citizens.

A day earlier, five Pakistan Army soldiers embraced martyrdom during an intense exchange of fire with terrorists in North Waziristan's Boyya area.
