In a brutal and unprovoked attack, terrorists targeted a police vehicle on Shakardara Road, resulting in the tragic deaths of three police personnel, including DSP Asad Mahmood. The assailants opened fire on the vehicle before setting it ablaze, highlighting the persistent threat posed by extremist elements in the region.
The attack, which occurred during routine police operations, underscores the high-risk environment faced by law enforcement personnel as they strive to maintain peace and security in Kohat and the surrounding districts. The deceased officers responded with courage in the line of duty, exemplifying the professionalism and dedication of Pakistan’s police force.
Local authorities, led by the DPO Kohat, have condemned the attack and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. Security forces have launched an immediate operation in the area to track and apprehend the terrorists involved.
The law enforcement community, alongside provincial and federal authorities, reiterates its commitment to combating terrorism and protecting citizens from violent extremist activities. Such cowardly attacks not only target security personnel but aim to destabilize public order, and they will be met with a decisive and sustained response.
The government and police authorities extend their deepest condolences to the families of the martyred officers and reaffirm their support to all personnel serving on the frontlines against terrorism.
