PESHAWAR: Nine cops, including a deputy superintendent of police (DSP), were martyred and 28 others were injured after terrorists attacked the Khazina Banda checkpost in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu district late on Wednesday.

A statement issued by KP Inspector General (IG) Zulfiqar Hameed said that the checkpost was attacked by Fitna al Khawarij, a term the state uses for terrorists belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), while police personnel were present.

He said that the police personnel responded bravely, while additional personnel were also dispatched. However, the terrorists ambushed the contingent, due to which an armoured personnel carrier was damaged.

The IG said that despite these challenges, the personnel fought with bravery and professionalism.

“Fifteen kharji were killed while multiple others were injured due to the police’s response,” he said. The IG added that during the intense and long exchange of fire, nine cops, including DSP Diyar Khan, were martyred while 28 others were injured.

The IG asserted that KP police’s morale and resolve were strong, adding that the battle to wipe out terrorists from every corner of the province would continue.

Speaking to Dawn, a senior police official also confirmed the number of casualties. He said that an exchange of fire broke out after the terrorists attacked the checkpost.

Separately, a police checkpost in the Adezai area, within the jurisdiction of Peshawar’s Mattani police station, was also attacked by terrorists late on Wednesday night.

“Terrorists fired at the post but cops responded, prompting the former to escape,” a senior police official said, adding that all the cops remained unhurt.

They are APCs, they are not magic

A bomb or bullet works on APCs especially is it's big



They set up these ambushes, why are the police falling for the same tactic over and over again????

Our immediate response to a attack should be drones and air cover, identify any ambushes or groups and hit them before the relief gets there and that's gives the support a good chance to kill the terrorists


Taliban We're doing this against the U.S for two decades, they have the experience

They hide among civilians who give them shelter and cover, after slaughtering their own ethnic brothers in big numbers, so its a cycle we will never come out off, just keep killing them as many as possible.

Why are we even wasting money, building these things in these jahil areas

It's just throwing money down a hole, if the locals want their girl children or even boys educated they would change their society

They clearly don't
They will continue to provide support to the people blowing up these schools

Save the money and spend it somewhere else or on something else
