A ministry statement said a cache of weapons, ammunitions, and communication devices was seized during the operation in the Wadi El-Dawwar forest in the Skikda state.

No information was provided about the identity of the slain militants or their affiliations.

However, groups affiliated with al-Qaeda and Daesh/ISIS terrorist movements operate on a limited scale in Algeria.
