A deadly militant assault in northwestern Pakistan left eleven police officers dead and over two dozen wounded in a brutal hour-long gunbattle, with security forces killing fifteen attackers. The coordinated attack, which included ambushes on reinforcements and damage to armored vehicles, targeted a police post in Hangu district. One senior officer fell leading the charge, dealing a heavy blow to local law enforcement. Though no group has officially claimed responsibility, the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) are widely suspected — they’ve been escalating attacks in the region and are closely tied to the Afghan Taliban, raising fears of cross-border sanctuary.
