Peshawar: Two policemen, including an SHO, were killed after militants attacked a police station in northwest Pakistan, police said.
The militants attacked the Bargai police station in the militancy affected southern Lakki Marwat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province with heavy weaponry on Sunday.
In the attack, one personnel died on the spot and the injured Station House Officer (SHO) succumbed to injuries in the hospital. The SHO had sustained multiple bullet wounds during the exchange of fire.
Following the attack, “Heavy contingents of security forces rushed to the site,” police said, and a massive combing operation was launched to capture the terrorists responsible, as reported by PTI.
However, the attackers managed to escape, fleeing towards the Afghan border, which has complicated efforts to apprehend them.
