In a recent attack on the Damadola Dangi Sar post in the Bajaur district, two Khawarij were killed, and three others sustained injuries. According to reports from security sources, the assailants launched an assault on the post, which is located in a strategically important area of Bajaur.
The terrorists who lost their lives in the attack included one Khariji from Afghanistan and another from Swat. The clash is believed to have been part of ongoing efforts by Pakistani forces to curb militant activity in the region. The three injured Khawarij were reportedly taken by their comrades to a nearby hideout.
Security forces responded swiftly to the attack, and while the situation remains under control, officials have stated that operations in the area are ongoing. The Bajaur region, once a stronghold for militant groups, has been the focus of a series of military operations aimed at clearing out insurgents who have crossed over from Afghanistan and other parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
This attack comes amid targeted security operations in the region, which have intensified following reports of increasing cross-border militant movements. The Pakistani military has been working on cleansing the area, while preventing further infiltration by extremist elements at the same time.
Authorities have yet to release further details, but the attack is a reminder of the continued threat posed by militants operating near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
