Karachi, Aug. 4 (ANI): Two suspected militants were killed today during a search operation in Balochistan's Noshki district.

According to the Dawn, the search operation was conducted in the district after a forewarning was received regarding the presence of miscreants in the area.

Security forces claimed to have recovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition during the operation.

The miscreants, belonging to a banned militant organization, were involved in attacks on security forces and civilians in the area, said Khan Wasey, the spokesperson for Frontier Corps.

Balochistan has been experiencing a sharp rise in violence with targeted killings becoming unusually common despite the government's claims of tight security in the province.

Considered the largest province of the country by area, it is home to a low-level insurgency by ethnic Baloch separatists.

Al Qaeda-linked militants also operate in the region. (ANI)
