In a statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the operation was conducted on the reported presence of terrorists on the night of October 19/20. One terrorist got injured and was apprehended by the security forces.
“These terrorists remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against security forces as well as target killing of innocent civilians,” it said, adding that a cache of arms, equipment, and explosives were also recovered during the operation.
