Pakistan's military said on Tuesday it had killed 50 terrorists along the border with neighbouring Afghanistan over four days, in a restive southwestern region home to key Chinese Belt and Road projects.

The terrorists were killed in an operation started on Thursday, it said in a statement, in Balochistan, where both terrorists and separatists operate.

The toll could not be independently verified.

This is a developing story.
