According to police officials, a fierce exchange of fire took place between law enforcement personnel and armed militants in the jurisdiction of Topi Police Station, Swabi.
The gun battle resulted in the killing of two militants associated with the banned TTP (Fitna al-Khawarij).
The slain militants were identified as Yasir and Saud ur Rehman alias Suwaid, both known as active members of the militant organisation.
Police confirmed that these two terrorists were responsible for the hand-grenade attack on the Kalabat check-post, an assault that led to the martyrdom of Constable Noor Kamal Shah.
Officials recovered a hand grenade, two pistols, and a 125cc motorcycle from the possession of the killed militants.
Police further stated that a comprehensive search operation is underway in the surrounding area to locate any remaining accomplices.
