On April 22, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police successfully thwarted a terrorist attack on the Dharey Pul police post in Bannu.
The Central Police Office (CPO) said that the prompt action of police officials at the post thwarted the assault.
The Chief of Police reported that a contingent of 18 to 19 terrorists, some on eight motorcycles and others advancing on foot, attempted a concerted assault.
The group, affiliated with Fitna al-Khawarij, intended to target an IT camera as part of their planned attack. The Chief Police Officer reported that they commenced gunfire on the police post from various directions.
In reaction to a vigorous counteraction by the police, the assailants were compelled to retreat, failing to accomplish their goal.
