Pakistan's military said on Tuesday it had killed 50 terrorists along the border with neighbouring Afghanistan over four days, in a restive southwestern region home to key Chinese Belt and Road projects.
The terrorists were killed in an operation started on Thursday, it said in a statement, in Balochistan, where both terrorists and separatists operate.
The toll could not be independently verified.
