In an attack on a checkpoint in northern Pakistan on Wednesday, armed terrorists killed nine police officers. In the ensuing firefight, 15 gunmen were also slain, according to authorities. “Nine police personnel were killed, and 26 others were injured in the attack. Police killed 15 militants and wounded dozens more, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police said in a statement.
The attack occurred in the Hangu district in the northern border province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, where authorities are battling a growing insurgency. “An armoured personnel carrier and several other police vehicles were also badly damaged during the clash,” it added. In a video message that went viral on social media, the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) group, which has stepped up its insurgency in the area, took credit for the attack.
Another checkpoint in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank district was targeted by unidentified militants on Friday. Fifteen people, including soldiers, police officers, and government employees, were killed when militants crashed an explosives-laden car into a security checkpoint on Friday. The military said that 12 insurgents were killed by security troops.
