Pakistani security forces have killed eight terrorists in two separate operations in the southwestern districts of Kharan and Mastung, the military's media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), said in a statement on Friday.

The operations were carried out on Thursday and Friday as part of an ongoing counter-terrorism campaign. The ISPR stated that weapons, ammunition, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and motorbikes used by the terrorists were recovered during the operations.
