Islamist terrorists kill 10 police officers in northwest Pakistan, say police

At least 10 police officers were killed in an attack on a police post in the Hangu district of northwest Pakistan late Wednesday. The assault, which involved a drone attack and an ambush, occurred in a region near the Afghan border that has historically served as a base for various militant groups.

Reports indicate that the confrontation lasted for several hours, resulting in the deaths of 15 attackers. While some sources report 10 fatalities among the police force, others have placed the death toll for officers at 11. This incident marks the second major assault on security personnel in the region within the span of a week.
