At least three terrorists were killed when police and security forces rejected a terrorist attack on the police training school near Dera Ismail Khan on Friday. The forbidden Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan assumed responsibility for the attack.
According to police sources, seven to eight armed attacks on the training facility through the main gate stormed around 10 p.m. 20, fired without discrimination and used rocket throwers and automatic weapons.
Police said armored vehicles, special units and staff from the AL-Buraq force were immediately sent to the stage. The district police confirmed that security forces successfully surround the attackers inside the connection.
Saddar Police Station Sho Aftab said three militants were killed during the operation, which lasted for more than three hours. He added that a coordinated reaction involving police, security forces and al-Buraq division eventually rejected the assault.

Residents of nearby areas reported having heard five high explosions, with the first explosion so powerful that it shook around buildings and spread panic over the neighborhood.
There were reports that six police personnel were injured during the exchange of fire, although the official confirmation was still awaited. After the operation, the area was closed and a search operation was launched to track any remaining suspects.
Police officials noted that the incident was taking place when former chief minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur arrived at Dera Ismail Khan from Peshawar. The sound of explosions allegedly caused panic among members of his convoy.
