A terrorist attack on a joint police checkpost in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank district last night martyred 15 people, including 14 security personnel, the military’s media wing said on Friday.
“The assailants sought to breach the check post security; however, their nefarious designs were swiftly and decisively foiled by the vigilant and resolute response of security forces,” Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement.
The statement added that the attackers rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the perimeter wall.
“Due to [the] blast impact, infrastructure at [the] checkpost was seriously damaged; resultantly, 15 brave sons of [the] soil, including 12 military, two policemen and a government official ex forest department, rendered the ultimate sacrifice and embraced shahadat (martyrdom).
