Security forces decisively foiled a terrorist attack on a check post in the Damadola area of Bajaur, responding with swift and effective action that forced the assailants to flee.
According to initial reports, militants launched the assault by hurling a hand grenade at the security installation, followed by indiscriminate firing. Personnel at the post immediately returned fire, engaging the attackers in a brief but intense exchange.
Officials indicated that the robust response by security forces disrupted the attack and inflicted damage on the militants. Several terrorists are believed to have sustained injuries during the retaliatory action, though independent verification is awaited.
Under mounting pressure, the attackers were left with no option but to abandon their attempt and escape from the scene.
The area has been cordoned off, and a comprehensive search operation is underway to track down the fleeing militants. Reinforcements have been deployed to strengthen security and prevent any regrouping attempt.
Security officials reaffirmed their resolve to eliminate terrorist threats and maintain stability in the region, stating that any attempt to undermine peace will be met with firm and immediate response.
Further updates are expected as the operation progresses.
