Terrorist hideouts destroyed in Lakki police operation

LAKKI MARWAT: The police destroyed hideouts of terrorists in the forested area near the Wanda Painda Khan area here on Friday.

A police official said that the Saddar police, with the help of Counter-Terrorism Department commandos and Elite Force and Quick Response Force personnel, conducted the operation following information about the presence of terrorists and criminals there.

He said that the law enforcers searched the hideouts and then set them on fire.

He said that terrorists would use their safe havens established in the dense forests to plan and execute terrorist activities in the area, especially on the Lakki-Darra Tang section of the Bannu-Mianwali Road connecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Punjab.

“During the operation, the police also set up temporary checkpoints on roads and dirt tracks leading to the forested area and searched suspected houses and vehicles,” he said.

Security forces killed at least 27 terrorists belonging to the Indian-sponsored Fitna al-Khwarij in a series of intelligence-based operations in the North Waziristan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the military’s media wing said on Sunday.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), security forces engaged multiple “khwarij” locations in the general area of Miran Shah in what it described as the continuation of intelligence-based operations.

“Following intense fierce exchanges of fire, in the last seventy-two hours, twenty-seven khwarij belonging to Indian-sponsored Fitna al-Khwarij have been sent to hell,” said the ISPR.

The state uses the term Fitna al-Khawarij to refer to terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Two suspects killed, police constable injured in Hangu ambush on police vehicle

DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Two suspects in custody were killed and a police constable was injured on Monday after unidentified terrorists allegedly linked to Fitna al-Khawarij opened fire on a police vehicle in the Surozai area of Hangu district, according to Hangu District Police Officer (DPO) Tariq Habib Khan.

The state uses the term Fitna al-Khawarij to refer to terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

The incident occurred while the suspects, arrested in a case involving the abduction, rape, and murder of a minor child, were being transferred to jail after a court appearance. According to initial reports, unidentified armed attackers ambushed the investigation police vehicle near Surozai and opened fire.

As a result, the two under-custody suspects — identified as Dilshad and Amanullah — were killed on the spot. The DPO said Constable Safeerur Rehman sustained injuries in the attack, while the police vehicle also suffered partial damage.
 

6 personnel martyred, 4 injured as terrorists attempt to capture Frontier Constabulary post in Peshawar: sources


News Desk
June 9, 2026
Six Frontier Constabulary (FCN) personnel were martyred and four were injured while responding to an attempt by terrorists to capture a post in Peshawar’s Hassan Khel area on Monday, sources told Dawn.

The sources said that three FCN personnel were being held hostage by terrorists.

Eight terrorists have also been killed in retaliatory action, and the attempt to capture the post was foiled, according to sources.

The sources said that security force personnel also reached the site of the incident, and they have cordoned off the area.

The action against terrorists by security forces was ongoing, they said.

Last month, the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) said in an assessment that after two consecutive months of improvement, Pakistan’s security situation had deteriorated sharply in May 2026, driven primarily by escalating terrorist violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

The country witnessed six suicide attacks during May, including four vehicle-borne suicide bombings. These attacks alone resulted in the deaths of 34 security personnel and nine civilians.

On May 9, a suicide attack in Bannu claimed the lives of 15 police personnel, after which Pakistan issued a “strong demarche” to Afghanistan.

Over a week later, a prominent tribal elder was among three killed in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast that struck the busy Rustam Bazaar area of Lower South Waziristan’s Wana.

In early June, security forces foiled a terrorist suicide attack on a military post near Miranshah in North Waziristan.

As KP and Balochistan continue to grapple with militancy, with attacks often targeting security personnel and law enforcers, the state has intensified counter-terrorism operations.
 
Earlier this month, security forces killed four terrorists in two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in KP’s Dera Ismail Khan and Mohmand districts.

In late May, a total of 13 militants were killed in a two-day operation in the Darra Adamkhel area bordering the Kohat and Peshawar districts.

About a week before that, a fierce clash between police, a peace committee and terrorists in Bannu’s Miryan tehsil left at least 25 terrorists dead and several others injured. Two police personnel and two civilians were martyred in the exchange of fire.
