Security forces thwarted an infiltration attempt and arrested all five alleged suicide attackers at the Pak-Afghan border.
According to security sources, the operation began at 5:00 PM when forces received intelligence about the group, identified as “Khawarij” , attempting to cross into Pakistan.
By 6:25 PM, the suspects had entered Pakistani territory near Azizkhel and Mandikhel, but security teams swiftly set up blockades at five locations, security sources added.
Sources further revealed that the suspects tried to hide in Besi Khel, but due to the forces’ rapid encirclement and strategic response, they surrendered without resistance.
All five individuals, aged 15 to 18, are Afghan nationals, with three possessing Afghan identity cards. They were moved to an undisclosed location for further interrogation. Security officials have continued search operations in border areas to prevent additional threats.
