QUETTA: At least six security personnel have been killed and 14 others injured during an operation against terrorists in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province, the military said.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of Pakistan army, said late Friday in a statement that an operation was conducted on a terrorists’ hideout after an intelligence information in Wakai area in Turbat region of Balochistan.

The terrorists targeted one of the vehicles of the security forces with an improvised explosive device which killed six of the security personnel who were conducting the operation, the ISPR said.

At least four terrorists were also killed and 14 security personnel were injured during the intense fire exchange following the attack at the vehicle.
