It is important to note that last month, terrorists attempted to attack the Bakhmal Ahmedzai police post in Lucky Marwat, but their efforts were thwarted thanks to modern equipment used by the police.
In January, another terrorist attack occurred in the Lakki Marwat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Terrorists attacked a police post. However, the police responded quickly and fiercely, causing the terrorists to flee.
