Four security personnel were among seven martyrias in two separate incidents of shot in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Karak district and the city of Peshawar, authorities said Wednesday.
Pakistan has witnessed an increase in terrorist activities during the past year, especially in KP and Baluchistan, after the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) outlaw (TTP) ended its high fire with the government in November 2022.
Four security personnel, including a driver, were martyred when the unknown assailants attacked a Federal Police (FC) vehicle in the Garagri de Karak area, which the prime minister and governor condemned strongly today.
KP’s Prime Minister Ali Amin Gandapur ordered the relevant authorities to arrest those involved in the incident, since he expressed condolences to the families of the martyred.
“We greet the security personnel and their families who sacrificed their lives for the country and the nation,” said a statement from the KP CM press secretary.
Governor Faisal Kundi also condemned the attack, saying: “The sacrifice of martyred in the war against terrorism will not go in vain.”
In a separate incident on Tuesday night, three people died in an attack with weapons on the Warsak road in Peshawar, including police inspector Ali Hussain.
Superintendent police operations (SSP) of Peshawar Masood Ahmed said Dawn.com That Hussain was traveling in a car with two friends last night when four assailants on two motorcycles opened fire against the car, killing the three.
“A gun and a underestimation (SMG) were used in the attack,” he added.
“We are investigating the incident, and Geofencing’s work is also ongoing.”
Kundi condemned the “unfortunate and inhuman” incident while expressing his condolences to the deceased’s families.
Last month, a police officer was martyred in Karak while deploying in a police post in the Koh-I-Maidan area, which limits with the districts of Lakki Marwat and Mianwali. He hugged martyrdom while the assailants fled to the mountains.
