Dozen ISIS fighters killed in Balochistan raid
QUETTA: Security forces on Sunday said they had killed around a dozen Islamic State (ISIS) militants in a three-day raid prompted by intelligence reports that the group were holding two recently kidnapped Chinese nationals. The operation took place in Mastung district of Balochistan and targeted the hideout cave of a group of IS commanders, a senior security official said. “Some 12-13 IS commanders have been killed after intense gun-battles and the area was cleared late Saturday”, he said, but added that the Chinese pair were not recovered from the scene despite the presence of the vehicle used in their kidnapping nearby.
