Islamabad, June 4, IRNA -- Pakistan security forces on Sunday said they had killed around a dozen Daesh militants in a three-day raid.
The operation took place in Mastung district of Balochistan and targeted the hideout cave of a group of Daesh key elements, a senior security official said.
"Some 12-13 Daesh commanders have been killed after intense gun-battles and the area was cleared late Saturday," said the un-named source.
Meanwhile, according to another security source, security forces also seized some suicide jackets and a cache of ammunition, weapons, explosives and detonators.
