Lakki Marwat: Militants Attack Police Station, Security Forces Camp in Bettani Subdivision

Unidentified armed men launched a nighttime attack on Shadi Khel Police Station and a nearby security forces camp in the Bettani subdivision of Lakki Marwat.

Heavy weapons were used from both sides during the assault, leading to an intense exchange of fire that continued for nearly two hours between police, security personnel, and the attackers.

As a result of the firing, police constable Irfanullah and security forces personnel Waseem were martyred. According to a police spokesperson, nearby civilian areas were also affected by the gunfire, while evidence is being collected from the scene.

It is worth noting that a series of violent incidents had already taken place in the same area over the past two days.
