Police personnel successfully thwarted a terrorist attack on Band Korai Police Station in the Paharpur area of Dera Ismail Khan late last night, forcing the attackers to flee following an effective retaliatory response.
According to police sources, terrorists rammed an explosive-laden Suzuki pickup into the boundary wall of the police station, triggering a powerful explosion followed by intense gunfire.
The blast damaged the rear wall of the police station as well as the adjacent mosque, whose outer wall and main entrance gate were also destroyed.
Police personnel immediately returned fire and engaged the attackers, forcing them to abandon their assault and escape from the scene.
SP Paharpur confirmed that police successfully foiled the attack through timely and effective action.
