In a significant operation on Sunday, two terrorists were neutralized by security forces in Pakistan's volatile Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, authorities reported.

The mission was executed following a tip-off about the militants' presence in Mamond tehsil of Bajaur tribal district, adjacent to Afghanistan. The terrorists retaliated with gunfire as forces approached their hideout.

During the encounter, a Havildar-rank soldier also succumbed to his injuries. The deceased terrorists were implicated in multiple attacks on tribal elders and security personnel.

In a separate incident, police confirmed that unknown gunmen abducted four laborers in the Tank district on Saturday. The laborers were engaged in repairing an electric tower when they were seized.

Tank district remains particularly susceptible to terrorist activities targeting security forces, police, and government officials.
