SWAT: A quick response by locals and police officials in the Swat valley thwarted attacks on the Wenai police post in Matta tehsil, and the Malam Jabba police station, late on Monday night.
However, one police official sustained injuries in the first shooting at the Wenai police post.
The retaliation came after an announcement was made through a mosque informing locals of the incident, calling on them to respond.
Armed locals quickly gathered and stood alongside the police, forcing the attackers to flee.
In quick succession, attackers opened fire on the Malam Jabba police station during the night.
Hearing the gunshots, locals carrying their arms came out to assist the police. The attackers once again escaped after being met with retaliatory fire from both police and residents.
