The incident took place in the Dhadar area, where security forces responded swiftly and decisively to an attempted assault by armed militants. According to security sources, several attackers were neutralized in the exchange of fire, while one brave security personnel embraced martyrdom during the operation.
Officials reported that the terrorists were attempting to carry out disruptive and destabilizing activities in the region. However, the timely coordination between local police and the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) turned the tide within moments, forcing the attackers into retreat.

‘The war against terrorism will continue without pause,’ the Prime Minister emphasized, adding that Pakistan remains steadfast in its resolve to dismantle all networks of extremism. “We will not sit in comfort until every trace of terrorism is eliminated,” he affirmed.
Security officials reiterated that operations against anti-state elements will remain impartial and unrelenting, with a clear message that no space will be allowed for those who threaten peace. The commitment from law enforcement agencies, they said, is to ensure that stability is not just restored, but firmly secured.
The latest operation once again highlights a recurring reality, in moments of crisis, swift coordination and courage on the ground continue to shape the country’s fragile but determined path toward lasting peace.
