The Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army, said late Saturday night that an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded in the Buleda area of Kech district of the province.
The IED explosion was followed by an intense exchange of fire between security personnel and the terrorists, the ISPR said in a statement, adding that five soldiers and three terrorists were killed during the clash.
