Tunisian soldiers kill two terrorists near border with Algeria

Tunisian troops have killed at least two Takfiri terrorists in the troubled northwest of the country, after a series of terrorist attacks by Daesh terrorists left dozens dead in the North African country.

According to the reports, the Tunisian Ministry of Defense said that the militants were killed on Wednesday during a search operation near the town of Jendouba, which is close to Algeria border.

"Military units, reinforced by elements of the National Guard... killed two terrorists during search operations" near the town of Jendouba, the ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

It added that security personnel seized two rifles along with ammunition, backpacks, clothes, mobile phones and cash.

The ministry also noted that a soldier was wounded during the fierce fighting.

Tunisian security sources say the National Guard would continue to search for militants across the violence-hit region.

Tunisia has witnessed an upsurge in militant attacks over the past few months.
