A major terrorist attempt was foiled near Rahmani Khel Mor in Mianwali as the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) carried out a successful intelligence-led operation, officials revealed. The preemptive strike prevented planned attacks on police check-posts in the area.
According to CTD sources, the operation was launched following credible intelligence about a group of militants preparing to carry out large-scale strikes on law enforcement targets. As CTD teams closed in, they came under intense gunfire from the suspects.
