At least three Federal Constabulary (FC) men were martyred when an ambulance carrying injured personnel came under a terrorist attack in the Badrakhail area of Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, police said on Monday.
The personnel were injured in a quadcopter attack on an FC post in the Dargah Shaheedan area this morning and were being transported to a hospital for treatment when the attack took place, the district police officer (DPO) told. At least five FC men were injured in the quadcopter attack, while two rescue personnel were also wounded in the ambulance attack, he added. Following the attack, police launched a search and clearance operation in the area to apprehend the assailants. Investigations into the incident are under way.
Pakistan, since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in 2021, has witnessed an increase in cross-border terrorist activity, particularly in the provinces of KP and Balochistan, which share a border with Afghanistan.
