Tunisian security forces announced on Wednesday that three individuals described as “terrorists” were killed during an ongoing counterterrorism operation in a mountainous area near the Algerian border.
The operation, involving national guard and army forces, took place in the vicinity of the city of Kasserine, according to a statement from the interior ministry.
The ministry did not provide further details about the identities or affiliations of the individuals killed in the operation.
The counterterrorism efforts in the region are part of ongoing initiatives to address security challenges and combat extremist threats near the border areas.
Tunisia has been actively engaged in counterterrorism operations to maintain security and stability within the country, particularly in regions prone to militant activities.
The government continues its efforts to address the complex security landscape and ensure the safety of its citizens.
