Tunisisk militär har dödat nio "terrorister" och beslagtagit två ton sprängmedel i landets norra delar, meddelade de tunisiska säkerhetsmyndigheterna på lördagen. Räden ägde rum i samma område som två polismän tidigare i veckan dödades i en attack genomförd av militanta islamistiska extremister, enligt försvarsdepartementets talesperson Taoufik Rahmouni.

Fyra tunisiska soldater har dödats av en landmina i Kefprovinsen i nordvästra Tunisien, uppger försvarsdepartementet. Händelsen inträffade på onsdagen i samband med en ”antiterroroperation” mot militanta islamister, och är den tredje liknande incidenten i landet sedan i söndags. Soldaterna som dödades färdades i ett fordon som utlöste laddningen.
