Three terrorists were killed and one police personnel died after heavily armed militants attacked a police training centre in Pakistan ’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Friday.
The assault took place at the Dera Ismail Khan Police Training Centre in the DI Khan district, near the South Waziristan border, when seven to eight terrorists launched a coordinated strike using heavy weapons.
According to PTI, one suicide bomber detonated himself near the facility, triggering a fierce exchange of fire between the attackers and security forces.
In retaliatory action, police killed three terrorists, while four to five others are believed to be holed up inside the compound. A clearance operation is underway.
District Police Officer Sajjad Ahmad Sabzdar is supervising the operation, with reinforcements rushed from the Ijaz Shaheed Police Lines.
The attack also left six police personnel injured. Special forces from the Pakistan Army’s Special Services Group (SSG) have arrived at the site to lead the ongoing clearance operation.
This comes days after the Pakistani air force conducted airstrikes in the region, killing 30 people, including women and children.
The Pakistani fighter jets JF-17 dropped eight LS-6 bombs on the Matre Dara village located in the Tirah Valley, causing a massacre. Disturbing pictures and videos of the incident site showed bodies, including children.
The Pakistani military and government are remained on this incident.
Pakistan has witnessed a surge in terrorist attacks, especially in KP and Balochistan, predominantly targeting the police, law enforcement agencies’ personnel, and security forces.
Attacks increased after the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan broke a ceasefire agreement with the government in 2022.
Recently, multiple areas of KP — including Bannu, Peshawar, Karak, Lakki Marwat and Bajaur — have seen a series of terrorist attacks, particularly targeting police personnel.
