In a significant escalation of violence, terrorists from the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched a fierce attack on a Pak Army post located in the Ladha Meshita area of South Waziristan. The assault resulted in the deaths and injuries of over 30 military personnel stationed at the post.
The attack caused a devastating fire at the weapons depot, leading to the complete destruction of the security post. During the assault, TTP militants successfully seized an array of weapons from the security forces, including G3 rifles and other military equipment, heightening concerns over the militants’ growing capabilities.
Furthermore, TTP terrorists ambushed a convoy that was en route to assist the military in Meshita. This ambush resulted in the deaths of four personnel, with several others reported injured.
As the situation unfolded, Pak security forces employed helicopters to evacuate the casualties, both deceased and wounded. Additionally, reports indicate that a small drone aircraft was shot down by the terrorists during the conflict.
The Pak Army’s long-standing policies of nurturing and allowing the proliferation of extremist groups have come back to haunt them. The very terrorists they once fostered are now launching devastating attacks against the military itself.
