Tragedy Strikes: A Heartfelt Tribute to Our Brave Officers
On a somber Wednesday night, the community of Hangu was rocked by a tragic terrorist attack targeting a police checkpost on Shahu Road. In a fierce exchange of fire, three courageous police officers made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving behind their loved ones and a nation in mourning. The brave souls were identified as LHC Waheed Shah, Constable Abdul Samad, and one other officer who lost his life in this senseless act of violence.
Local officials reported that the militants initially targeted the Qazi Talab checkpost, triggering a fierce response from the officers stationed there. District Police Officer (DPO) Khan Zeb Khan praised the officers for their bravery and commitment to protecting their community. Their valor under fire is a testament to the dedication of law enforcement in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
This tragic incident left two other officers injured, who were promptly rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention. Following the attack, additional police units were deployed to the area, continuing the search for the attackers and reinforcing security measures.
Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the attack in strong terms, expressing his condolences to the families of the fallen officers. He remarked, "The sacrifices of these martyred officers will not go in vain," highlighting the resolve of Pakistan in its battle against terror. He emphasized that the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Police have made significant sacrifices and are true heroes defending our nation.
