Yesterday, The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement that Pakistan’s military successfully thwarted a major terrorist attack on Bannu Cantt (Cantonment) in Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Tuesday evening, killing all 16 terrorists.
“On 4 March 2025, a cowardly terrorist attack was attempted on Bannu Cantonment by Khwarij elements,” read the statement.
The assailants sought to breach the cantonment’s security; however, their nefarious designs were swiftly and decisively foiled by the vigilant and resolute response of Pakistan’s security forces. In their desperation, the attackers rammed two explosive-laden vehicles into the perimeter wall, it added.
