Fitna-al-Khwarij Terrorists Attack Central Camp in Ghallanai, Mohmand District
Ghallanai, Mohmand District – In a coordinated assault early this morning, the Fitna-al-Khwarij faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched a devastating attack on the headquarters of the Mohmand Rifles in Ghallanai, located in the Haleemzai subdivision of Mohmand District. The assault began around 4 AM and has resulted in significant casualties and ongoing violence.
Initial reports confirm that at least three explosions were heard in the vicinity of the military compound. The assault was marked by a series of violent incidents, including the use of suicide bombers. Sources indicate that five to six suicide bombers were involved in the attack.
According to credible sources, security forces managed to neutralize three suicide bombers before they could gain entry into the compound. The first two suicide bombers were eliminated at the main gate, preventing them from breaching the facility. A third bomber detonated his explosive device near the walls of the compound. The head of this bomber, who blew himself up near the compound, was reportedly found on the window ledge.
The attack has led to an intense exchange of fire between the terrorists and the Mohmand Rifles personnel. Sporadic gunfire and explosions continue to be reported, indicating that the situation remains highly volatile. The security forces are engaged in ongoing efforts to control the situation and secure the area.
Authorities have identified the attackers as members of Jamat ul Ahrar, a faction of the TTP known for its radical ideology and violent tactics. The involvement of this group has raised concerns about the potential for further violence in the region.
The attack has resulted in several casualties, though the exact number of wounded and deceased remains unclear at this time. Emergency response teams and additional security forces have been deployed to the area to assist in managing the crisis and providing medical aid to those affected.
The Fitna-al-Khwarij’s assault on the Mohmand Rifles headquarters underscores the ongoing security challenges faced by the region. Authorities have called for increased vigilance and heightened security measures in response to this attack.
