KP police spokesperson said a group of terrorists targeted the police station with heavy weapons and an explosives-laden pickup truck, apparently seeking to breach its security perimeter. The attackers drove the vehicle directly into the station’s main gate, setting off a massive explosion that damaged the boundary wall and a mosque within the compound.
The blast was followed by an armed assault as the terrorists attempted to exploit the destruction and force their way inside. However, the attackers encountered immediate resistance from police personnel who had already taken defensive positions.
Rather than allowing the militants to advance, officers launched a coordinated counterattack, maintaining control of the station despite the explosion and sustained gunfire. Police officials said the personnel demonstrated remarkable alertness and courage, forcing the attackers to retreat without achieving their objective.
The spokesperson credited the successful defense to advance security preparations, professional training, and the officers’ swift response, which prevented what could have become a devastating attack on the law enforcement facility.
District Police Officer (DPO) of Dera Ismail Khan immediately reached Band Korai Police Station to assess the situation. The senior police official inspected the damage, reviewed existing security arrangements, and received detailed briefings from officers involved in repelling the attack. Authorities also evaluated the station’s protective measures following the powerful explosion that damaged parts of the compound.
Residents living near the police station reportedly rushed toward the area after hearing the explosion. According to the police spokesperson, locals expressed their support for the officers and demonstrated confidence in the security personnel defending their community.
The police spokesperson hailed the officers’ valour, saying that their discipline, tactical readiness, and determination prevented the terrorists from gaining entry into the station. Despite the use of an explosives-laden vehicle and heavy weapons, the attackers failed to breach the facility, while every police officer deployed at the station survived unharmed.
