Recent videos circulating on social media, allegedly showing attacks on the Haider Kandao Check Post, are entirely false and misleading. The Haider Kandao Check Post, located in the Tirah Valley of Khyber District, was vacated by the Pakistan Army a considerable time ago.
Certain militant elements, in a futile attempt to spread misinformation and create panic, continue to record staged videos at this abandoned site and present them as recent attacks for online propaganda. The Tirah Valley is known for illegal narcotics and smuggling activities. In this region, militant groups, local criminal networks, smugglers, and certain politically backed individuals often collaborate to sustain unrest. Their goal is to ensure that their unlawful operations continue without interference from law enforcement agencies.
The public is urged to remain cautious of such fabricated content and rely only on verified information from official sources. Pakistan’s security forces remain resolute in their mission to eradicate terrorism and restore lasting peace and stability in all parts of the country.
