Terrorists launched a late-night assault on the Khonia Khel Police Post in the district\u2019s Wazir sub-division with heavy weapons, intending to seize control of the facility. A large number of attackers attempted to surround the police post, however, police personnel deployed at the installation were alert and responded to the threat promptly. The effective response by the law enforcers forced the militants to retreat.<br \/>\nOn the directives of RPO Bannu Sajjad Khan and DPO Bannu Yasir Afridi, additional police contingents, along with Quick Response Force (QRF) and Rapid Response Force (RRF) units, were immediately dispatched to the scene, compelling the militants to flee. According to a press release issued by the police, three terrorists were killed and nine others were injured during the operation, dealing a significant blow to their network.<br \/>\nOne of the slain militants was identified as terrorist commander Umar Azam alias Khizmeti, while another was identified as Shahidullah. The identification process of the third militant is underway. During the exchange of fire, one police officer sustained minor injuries but is reported to be out of danger.<br \/>\nPolice further stated that, in an apparent attempt to avenge the killing of their associates, militants also tried to attack Ahmadzai Police Station and Fateh Khel Police Post last night. However, both attempts were thwarted, and the attackers fled the scene. \u2014 DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>effective response PESHAWAR A major terrorist attack on a police post in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Bannu district was foiled on Wednesday, with security forces killing three attackers and injuring nine others.
