A joint operation by the Counter Terrorism Department and police in Kohat district resulted in the killing of six terrorists, according to local police officials. The action was carried out in the Lachi area, where security personnel also recovered weapons from the dead militants.
District Police Officer Shehbaz Elahi said the area was sealed off after the operation and a follow-up search was launched to check for any remaining suspects or support networks. The latest raid comes amid intensified counterterror efforts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after a recent rise in militant violence.
The operation followed another CTD action a day earlier and came shortly after a deadly blast near a police vehicle in Lakki Marwat that left seven police personnel martyred. Officials say security operations will continue as authorities try to contain the renewed militant threat in the province.
