Militants attack rescue operation, killing Federal Constabulary personnel in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
KARAK: Militants identified as part of the Fitna al-Khawarij group launched a deadly assault on a Federal Constabulary post in Qilla Shaheedan, Karak. Using a quadcopter, they attacked the security post, leaving several officers injured.
As rescue teams from Rescue 1122 arrived with ambulances, one vehicle carrying wounded officers was set ablaze by the militants, killing those inside. The second ambulance managed to transport the remaining injured safely. Among the fallen were Constables Murad Gul and Ayan Khan, and Lance Naik Adil Khan, all locals from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu and Mansehra districts.
Other injured personnel, including Havildar Sabir, Muhammad Yousaf, Hanif, and ambulance driver Ahmed Hussain, were shifted to hospitals in Bannu and Karak for treatment.
The group filmed the attack and shared it on social media, spreading fear and terror. Security officials condemned the assault, noting that targeting wounded personnel is a violation of Islamic teachings and international humanitarian norms. Authorities assured that operations against Fitna al-Khawarij will continue until the group is eliminated.
The attack, carried out during the holy month of Ramadan, underscores the militants’ blatant disregard for both human life and religious principles.
