Pakistani security forces successfully repelled a coordinated Khawarij attack on an Army post in North Waziristan late Saturday evening, officials confirmed.
According to initial field reports, the Khawarij opened fire on the post around 6:40 p.m., using small arms and under-barrel grenade launchers from multiple directions — north, west, and southwest.
The attackers were believed to be operating from locations 200–400 meters away.
Troops deployed at the Army post immediately returned fire, engaging the Khawarij with precision. Snipers took up vantage points, while aerial reconnaissance and quick-reaction forces were activated to locate and neutralize the assailants.
“Fire from the hostile positions was effectively silenced,” a security official told reporters, adding that surveillance drones and mortar teams provided real-time targeting support.
