Five militants and a security personnel were killed during an armed clash in Pakistan's troubled Balochistan province today.
The clash took place in Pat Feeder area of the Naseerabad district, a spokesman of the Frontier Corps said.
"Five militants have been killed in the clash while one security personnel also lost his life," he said.
He said the clash took place after security forces conducted a search operation in the area for the recovery of 13 employees of the Uch power plant who were kidnapped this week by militants.
The spokesman didn't confirm whether the kidnapped employees had been recovered but said that security forces had recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition in the area.
