LAKKI MARWAT: The police foiled an attempt by militants to attack a police station in Bargai area here, claimed a police official on Thursday. The official said that a group of militants assembled in the remote rural area late Wednesday night to target the police station building.

He added that the personnel deployed at the police station noticed movement of the armed miscreants with the help of modern gadgets and opened fire on them. "Before the terrorists could strengthen their position, the policemen who were fully alert attacked them," he maintained, adding that the quick response by police left the armed terrorists with no option but to flee the area.

The Bargai police station was established in 2021 to maintain law and order in the peripheries of the district and check infiltration of militants from adjacent tribal districts of erstwhile Fata.
In Dec 2022, four policemen were martyred and four others including an ASI were injured when terrorists attacked a police station in Bargai area.

Meanwhile, a kingpin of a bandits' gang was injured in an encounter with police in Tajori Town here on Thursday.
A police official told Dawn that an intense fire exchange took place when police came face-to-face with the bandits near Kattukhel Adda. He said that a party of Tajori police station reached the area on receiving information about the presence of proclaimed offenders Naseer Khan, a ringleader of bandits' gang, and Tahir Khan. "When policemen reached the area, the armed men opened fire on them in a bid to flee the place on a motorcycle," he maintained.

Over 400 killed in Pakistan as military intensifies operations in KP and Baluchistan

The Pakistani military says that army, police, intelligence and other law enforcement agencies are carrying out more than 100 operations daily against terrorism in the country.

Major-General Ahmed Sharif, a spokesperson for Pakistan's military, said during a live broadcast news conference Tuesday that security forces have conducted 13,135 small and major intelligence-based operations so far this year against terrorists and their facilitators, "during which 249 terrorists were sent to hell while 396 were arrested."

VOA reached out to Pakistan military media wing Inter Services Public Relations official Brigadier Ghazanfar via WhatsApp seeking further details on the military operations in the region, but he has not responded.

Asif Durrani, Pakistan's special representative for Afghanistan, told a gathering organized by the Institute of Regional Studies on Tuesday that there has been a 60% increase in terrorist attacks in Pakistan since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021.

Haq Nawaz, a Peshawar-based analyst, said Pakistan lacks a clear strategy to combat terrorism.

"Pakistan has adopted both the dialogue and military operations strategy in the past, but terrorism is on the rise in Pakistan and Pakistan's military and political forces should work together to devise a new strategy," he said.

The Center for Research and Securities Studies (CRSS), an Islamabad-based think tank tracking terrorism in Pakistan, has said that terror-related fatalities surged 17% in the first quarter of 2024 compared with the corresponding period in 2023.

The report says 432 people were killed and 370 others were injured in the first three months in 245 attacks and military operations. The provincewise breakdown is not yet available, but CRSS says that 92% of the violence occurred in KP and Baluchistan.
