Karak Police, in coordination with the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), conducted a search and strike operation in the mountainous areas and outskirts of Aman Kot and Teri in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The operation was part of ongoing security measures in response to recent militant activity in the region.

According to police statements, the operation followed a recent attack on Frontier Corps (FC) personnel in Aman Kot, which prompted heightened security alerts. Intelligence reports about possible militant movement in surrounding areas led to the deployment of joint security teams.

A significant number of police and CTD personnel participated in the mission, using standard firearms and protective gear. Officials stated that the main objectives were to address potential security threats, locate militant hideouts, and improve public safety in the affected localities.

Security teams searched remote areas, including difficult mountainous routes and villages suspected of sheltering armed groups. Police said that three individuals suspected of involvement in the FC attack were among the targets of the operation. However, no information was released regarding arrests or casualties at the time of reporting.

Checkpoints were temporarily established in and around the operation area to monitor movement and safeguard residents. Security forces also verified the identities of people traveling through the region.

The operation is part of a broader counter-terrorism effort in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where attacks on security personnel have been reported in recent months. Authorities have been carrying out intelligence-based actions to reduce the risk of further incidents and prevent militant groups from organizing.

Police and CTD officials noted that continued operations are necessary to maintain stability, particularly in locations where militant activity has previously been recorded. They said security measures will remain in place until potential threats are resolved.

Residents of Karak district were advised to stay alert and cooperate with security personnel during ongoing operations. Authorities encouraged the public to report suspicious activity to the police or official helplines.

Officials highlighted the importance of cooperation between different law enforcement agencies in addressing security challenges.
