Dera Ismail Khan:
Unidentified terrorists mounted a deadly attack on a Frontier Constabulary (FC) place in Hangu late on Sunday night, leaving three staff martyrs and 21 others wounded, including three in critical condition.
According to police officers, terrorists stormed the FC fort in the Torah Wadi area of Doaba under the deck of darkness and triggered intense cross -related.
Security officials confirmed that Naik Sadiq Hussain, resident of Safedsang, Sepoy Abdul Ghaffar from Sado Garhi Chehel Ghazi Baba and Sepoy Zewar Khan from Yar Ghalji embraced martyr death in the attack.
At least 21 staff sustained injuries. Among the wounded were Naib Subedar Kashif, Havaldar Zahid, Lance Naik Aziz, Lance Naik Farooq, Sepoy Bilal, Maqsood Ali, Farooq Mehmood, Rafiullah, Amirullah, Abdul Haseeb, Hanifullah, Wajidullah, Sajid, Abdullah, Qaiser Ali, Muzammer Usman, among others. Hospital sources said the state of Maqsood Ali, Sajid and Usman remained extremely critical. Together with other seriously wounded staff, they were moved to CMH Thal for treatment.
Meanwhile, HANGU’s Station House Officer (SHO) Imranuddin, who rushed with his team to support the besieged FC Peleton, came under Bakhold on three separate points.
Terrorists opened heavy fire, but Sho and his men reciprocated, held their ground and managed to evacuate the wounded in safety.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who condemned the incident, said the assault was carried out by ‘Fitna Al Hindustan’. In his statement, Naqvi paid tribute to the soldiers “who embraced martyrdom while they bravely opposed the assault” and instructed officials to provide the best possible medical treatment to the wounded.
“The brave officers of the Federal Reserve -Police [the term used for FC personnel] sacrificed their lives to foil the attack of India-sponsored terrorists, “he said.” Officed from our martyrs will never go in vain. “
The attack comes when Pakistan faces a renewed wave of terrorism, especially in KP and Balochistan, after Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan’s (TTP) decision to end his ceasefire with the government in November 2022.
In recent months, terrorists have primarily targeted police, law enforcement and security forces, which results in intensified terrorist surgery across the country.
