Pakistan: Police thwart late-night attack on Pezu police station in Lakki Marwat
Police in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region thwarted a late-night attack on the Pezu police station in Lakki Marwat district on Tuesday.
According to District Police Officer (DPO) Tariq Habib, policemen at the Gandi Chowk checkpost suspected the “presence and movement of six terrorists” around midnight and confronted them, reported Dawn News.
The DPO said the alert policemen forced the terrorists to flee.
A heavy police contingent and an armed personal carrier (APC) reached the site of the incident, the official told Dawn News.
Pakistan is witnessing a spike in terrorist attacks in recent months.
There is a rise in such incidents especially in KP and Balochistan provinces.
The uptick in similar incidents has been reported after the banned militant Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan ended its ceasefire with the government in November 2022.
