It was reported that one of the deceased was a local TTP commander. A Rangers spokesperson confirmed the death of the two militants.
The operation was conducted after the security forces were tipped off about the presence of the militants.
When the security forces reached the area, the militants opened fire and threw hand grenades at them, injuring three Rangers personnel, identified as Naseer and Akbar. The injured were immediately shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for treatment.
A high contingent of security forces was called in after the initial encounter. An exchange of fire took place again, which lead to the death of the two militants.
After the operation, additional IGP Karachi announced cash reward as well as commendation certificates for the police personnel involved in the operation.

Well done rangers. Keep it up and clean it up. Karachi is with you.
Finally, rangers came over the obessesion to harrass MQM and do some real work. Airport attack somehow have this as a positive aspec. I wish rangers had done their job from the begining and we could have avoided killing of so many people at Karachi Airport.
These weren't just 'two militants', they are high level commanders! Cheers Pakistan!!
Person killed in every encounter will be called a TTP member. Can police be taken on face value?
Rangers finally wearing masks to hide reprisal attacks on their families from Taliban. Very good to see that. God bless Pakistan armed forces.
