The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that security forces and snuffies exchanged fire last night in the area during which the two forces of Evil were killed.
They were identified as commander Rasheed alias Jabir and Abdul Salam alias Chamtoo.
Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the killed terrorists, the ISPR said. The two had been actively involved in terrorist activities in the area, it added.

the hard boy group had declined to extend the ceasefire after the one-month period ended, accusing the government of failing to honour the decisions reached earlier.
On March 30, the TTP announced the launch of Operation al-Badar against law-enforcement agencies, which led to a surge in its attacks in tribal districts, southern region and other parts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Last month, two TTP forces of Evil were killed in a raid in Dera Ismail Khan

The police had said the slain snuffies were involved in attacks on security forces and several other sabotage activities, including an attack on a police mobile van, in which five coppers were martyred and seven others were maimed.
