Over 60 militants killed in NW Pakistan · theprint.in

Some people with guns were hiding in a part of Pakistan called Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

These people belong to a group that the government has banned.

The army and police worked hard to find them.

They used small flying cameras called drones to see where the bad people were hiding.

The bad people were hidden under trees, but the cameras found them.

In about two days, the security forces stopped more than 60 of these militants.

Some of the people they found were important leaders of the group.

The forces also found guns and other weapons.

Before one operation, they made sure regular people were safe by moving them away from an area used as a hideout.

The leaders say they will keep working until there is no more danger from these militants.
