Four police officers killed and seven injured in KP militant attacks across multiple districts. Security forces launch operations as IG Zulfiqar Hameed vows to eliminate terrorism.
Four police officers were killed and seven others injured in a series of KP militant attacks over the past 24 hours, officials confirmed on Wednesday. The incidents occurred in multiple districts, including Peshawar, Upper Dir, and Lower Dir, targeting law enforcement personnel through coordinated strikes. Authorities believe these attacks were part of a broader effort by militants to destabilize security in the province.
According to police sources, the assaults involved heavy gunfire and explosive devices, leaving officers wounded in critical condition. Security forces quickly responded by sealing off the affected areas and launching widespread search operations. Law enforcement agencies are on high alert, fearing further attempts to target personnel and disrupt public order.
Inspector General of Police Zulfiqar Hameed praised the courage and swift action of the police under fire, emphasizing their readiness to confront the threat. He reiterated that the province’s security forces remain committed to eliminating terrorism and ensuring peace for residents. The recent surge in KP militant attacks has sparked concerns over a potential escalation of violence in the region.
