The Punjab Police spokesperson acknowledged that the assailants employed advanced weaponry in their attack. The police officers at the checkpoint reacted promptly, engaging in intense gunfire and ultimately thwarting the assault.

“The terrorists were compelled to withdraw as a result of our officers’ prompt and efficient counterfire,” stated the spokeswoman. “In the course of the gunfire, the assailants incurred losses, and we have initiated a search operation in the vicinity to pursue the escaping terrorists.”
