Peshawar: Pakistani security forces have killed 11 terrorists, including a key commander of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, in the country's South Waziristan region, media reports said on Friday.

The deaths occurred in two separate terror incidents that targeted police in  Lakki Marwat and Dera Ismail Khan.

The incidents left five officials injured.

In an intelligence-based operation in Wana, the security forces raided a hideout of TTP militants and killed at least 11 terrorists, including TTP commander Hafizullah alongside two would-be suicide bombers, said the military’s media wing, reports Dawn News.

The operation “foiled a major terrorist activity”, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement as quoted by Dawn News issued on Thursday evening.

“During intense exchange of fire, 11 terrorists, including terrorist commander Hafizullah alias Tor Hafiz, and two suicide bombers were killed.

“A huge quantity of weapons and ammunition was also recovered from the killed terrorists,” the military’s media wing said.
