A police constable was killed and three other policemen were abducted after terrorists attacked a police checkpost in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, reports said on Monday.
The attack took place at the Shah Almas Pir Hill police checkpost in Hangu district. The attackers opened fire on the police personnel, killing Constable Feroz Ali. They also took three policemen hostage and fled towards the Khanano Kota area.
Following the incident, police and security forces launched a search operation to trace the attackers and rescue the abducted personnel.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, the banned TTP has carried out repeated attacks in the province since its ceasefire with Pakistan's federal government ended in November 2022.
