Police personnel successfully repelled a heavily armed terrorist attack on Changhoz Police Check Post in the Lambar area of Karak district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, after an intense exchange of fire that continued until morning.
According to local reports, the terrorists launched the assault last night using heavy weapons. During the attack, they blew up the check post’s main entrance gate, causing part of its boundary wall to collapse and damaging the building.
However, police personnel responded promptly, engaging the attackers in an exchange of fire and preventing them from overrunning the security installation. The firefight continued until the early morning hours, forcing the attackers to abandon their assault.
The attackers had also allegedly planted explosive material at the check post. The Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) reached the site and successfully defused the explosives, averting a potential further threat.
No casualties were reported in the incident.
The successful defense of Changhoz Check Post highlights the readiness of KP Police to respond to coordinated attacks on security installations. The incident also underscores the continuing threat posed by heavily armed terrorist groups targeting police infrastructure in southern districts of the province.
