WANA: A late-night militant attack was thwarted in South Waziristan‘s remote area of Tordeev, located in the Tehsil of Toi Khullah, when local residents and a police official responded promptly to an attempted assault on the official’s home by armed extremists affiliated with a proscribed organization.
According to credible sources, the militants tried to storm the residence of a police personnel during the night, but swift retaliatory action by the official and nearby villagers led to a fierce gunfight. The exchange of fire resulted in the deaths of three militants on the spot.
Initial reports suggest that the deceased attackers belonged to the Dotani tribe. Their bodies were taken into custody by local residents following the failed assault.
Security forces later reached the site and conducted a search operation in the area to ensure no further threats remained. The situation has since returned to normal, though tension persists in the region.
This incident highlights the ongoing threat posed by extremist elements in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly in the southern tribal belt, where residents and law enforcement continue to resist terrorism despite limited resources and increasing challenges.
