Three camps allegedly being used by militants in the area were also destroyed, and a large cache of arms and ammunition was recovered during the operation. The bodies of the deceased 'militants' were shifted to Harnai hospital, the official said.

The militants were involved in bomb explosions, targeted killings and other acts of terrorism in the area, the security official said.
