Rangers acted on a tip-off and conducted the operation on the hideouts of suspected militants, upon which; they were met with retaliatory firing. As a result of the exchange firing, two suspected militants were killed and their identities are yet to be ascertained.
The shootout comes following the drive-by shooting in Karachi's MA Jinnah Road a day earlier, which killed two Military Police (MP) soldiers.
Masked gunmen shot dead the two MP soldiers, where a paramilitary Rangers-led surgical operation has been underway for the past two years.
The gunmen struck when the military men were sitting inside their official jeep near Gul Plaza. According to preliminary post-mortem reports, both were shot once in the head. The bodies were later moved to the PNS Shifa Hospital.
