Security forces successfully repelled several attacks across Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province overnight, responding promptly to incidents in three separate districts.
In the Lakki Marwat district, militants targeted the Sarai Gambila police station late at night. Officials reported that night vision equipment detected suspicious movement. Following an exchange of gunfire, the attackers fled the scene.
In the Khyber district, armed individuals opened fire near the Jamrud Bypass, injuring two security personnel. Authorities immediately sealed off the area and launched a search operation to apprehend the perpetrators.
The wounded security guards were taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment. The report did not provide details on their condition.
In a third incident, unidentified assailants attacked a police checkpoint in the Mandi neighborhood of the Tank district. Police responded with retaliatory fire, forcing the attackers to retreat without causing any casualties.
