(MENAFN- Khaama Press) A Police officer got injured after the terrorist opened fire on the Khutti police checkpoint within the boundaries of Dera Ismail Khan police station, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, on Monday night. According to a police spokesman, a group of terrorists attacked the check post on Dera Ismail Khan and fled from the scene. A cop was injured in the incident.
Police also added that due to the exchange of fire between police and the attackers, the terrorists fled from the area. Meanwhile, after receiving the information, a significant police presence arrived at the scene and began a search operation in the area.
For a couple of months, security has deteriorated in Pakistan, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan and other major cities.
This comes after the breakdown of negotiations in November last year with the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan; the group has increased its attack in the country, killing police officers and soldiers and targeting military sites and citizens.
According to the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), January 2023 was one of the deadliest months since July 2018, with 134 persons killed (a 139% increase) and 254 injured in at least 44 militant strikes across the nation.
Meanwhile, Pakistani security forces have also increased their search operation to find and dismantle militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other cities in Pakistan.
