It was a brave fight against terror on Sunday night in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s remote areas, as the KPK police repulsed an aggressive attack from militants armed with powerful weapons.
With support from Tank Police and local residents at Pir Tangi police post near Jandola station, law enforcement was able to fend off danger successfully.
With a quick reaction and plenty of local support, police successfully repulsed two attacks on their posts. Shots were exchanged for 10 minutes before the attackers escaped, but it was clear that Tank’s law enforcement showed bravery during these tough times. It seems like this isn’t the only incident, similar incidents have also been reported from other districts recently.
