DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Police foiled a terrorist attack of the Indian proxy Fitna al Khawarij on Bandkorai Police Station in the Paharpur area of Dera Ismail Khan after officers returned fire and killed several terrorists, police sources said.
Police swiftly reacted to the attack and forced the rest of the attackers to flee.
The Khawarij attackers targeted the police station late last night using a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED). They rammed an explosives-laden Suzuki pickup into the station’s boundary wall, damaging its rear section and an adjoining mosque.
However, police personnel immediately retaliated and engaged the Khawarij. Their prompt response forced the assailants to retreat and escape from the scene.
According to the SP Paharpur, police responded swiftly and effectively, preventing the Khawarij from carrying out their intended assault.
The attack damaged parts of the police station and the nearby mosque. Further details about the extent of the damage and any casualties were not immediately available.
