Security personnel killed six terrorists in the South Waziristan region on Wednesday during a gunbattle in the Kot Azam region.

The developments were verified in a statement by the military's media branch, ISPR. "During the operation, intense fire exchange took place between security forces and six terrorists were killed," it added

It said that the terrorists who had been slain had aggressively attacked security forces and had engaged in extortion and targeted murders of civilians, Dawn reported.
