Khyber Police successfully foiled a cowardly midnight assault by Fitna al-Khawarij (FAK) on Milward Police Station in Khyber District, forcing the militants to retreat after facing decisive retaliation. The attackers, who attempted to strike under the cover of darkness, fled in disarray when confronted with heavy firepower and modern surveillance systems deployed by the police.
The militants opened fire in an apparent bid to damage the police installation and intimidate the security force. Their plan was swiftly crushed as police personnel, maintaining round-the-clock vigilance, responded with accuracy and determination. The assailants were left with no option but to abandon their position and escape into the surrounding hills.
The use of advanced monitoring and early-warning technology proved instrumental in detecting the hostile movement, enabling the police to deliver a timely and coordinated response. No casualties were reported among the defending force, and the facility remained fully secure throughout the exchange.
The failed attack once again highlighted the desperation of Fitna al-Khawarij, whose operational capacity has steadily declined due to repeated setbacks in the region. Their reliance on opportunistic nighttime strikes underscores both their weakness and their inability to face security forces directly.
Khyber Police reaffirmed their resolve to remain vigilant against all threats and to ensure that no militant group can undermine peace in the district. The successful repulsion of the assault has reinforced public confidence, with the community standing united against the remnants of terror.
