(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) In a series of anti-terrorism operations, security forces eliminated a total of 12 militants across North Waziristan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Kech district in Balochistan, according to the Pakistan Army's media wing, ISPR.

In Kech district's Balgtar area, security forces launched an operation on the night of November 12-13, acting on intelligence reports about militant presence. A fierce gunfight ensued, resulting in the death of four militants, including the high-profile target Sana, also known as "Baro," the leader of a gang involved in militant recruitment for the so-called Majid Brigade.

Baro was reportedly a key handler for suicide bombers and had been on law enforcement's most-wanted list for his involvement in various militant activities.
