The police stated that a meeting was underway at the check post when the attack took place, and the police retaliated with gunfire, forcing the attackers to flee.

The escalating tensions in the Middle East have led to a shortage of petroleum products in Pakistan. According to the Ministry of Information, the image shared by Afghanistan is from 2021, showing a Russian aircraft accident in Turkey. The propaganda and false claims made by the Afghan Taliban regime are shameful.
In a bid to enhance security, the government has imposed stricter measures at Karachi Airport and its surrounding areas. Pakistani Ambassador to Iran, Muzaffar Tappo, stated that Iran has been attacked and that the government is sending back Pakistani nationals residing in the country. Foreign Office spokesperson, Tahir Hussain Andarabi, clarified that Afghanistan’s claim about Pakistan shooting down their plane is entirely false.
Following the attack on Iran, the government has instructed authorities to closely monitor the country’s airspace. In Lahore, a woman lost her life due to domestic violence in the Green Town area. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised Pakistani citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Iran due to security concerns.

The Pakistan Air Force has reportedly destroyed an Afghan military headquarters in Qandahar and struck two targets in the Nangharar province of Afghanistan.

A total of 32,488 lawyers will exercise their right to vote in the High Court Bar elections. There is a possibility of dry weather in Karachi and Lahore by the end of February. According to SSP Arif Aziz, 98 Afghani nationals were arrested during the operation.
