LAKKI MARWAT: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police repelled another terrorist attack on the Dadiwala police station of Lakki Marwat on Friday night. This marks the fourth failed assault on police stations in the district in less than two weeks.
According to officials, terrorists launched the attack, but police responded swiftly, forcing them to flee. Both sides exchanged heavy and automatic gunfire for several hours.
Authorities closed the Indus Highway during the attack to ensure public safety.
This police station was also targeted earlier this month.
