Security forces on Wednesday claimed to have killed four suspected militants during an exchange of fire in Balochistan's Dera Bugti district.

Inter-Services Public Service Relations (ISPR) claimed in a statement that security forces also demolished four sanctuaries being allegedly used by the suspects during the action.

The killed suspects were said to be associated with an outlawed organisation operating in the area.

Security forces also claimed to have recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition from possession of the suspects.

The deceased were allegedly involved in attacks on security forces and vital national installations in the area, claimed ISPR.
