A second attack targeting police has been reported in Taunsa Sharif, South Punjab, with the latest incident occurring at the Lakhani police checkpost, following an earlier attack on the Jhangi checkpost.
Initial reports indicate that two police personnel were killed or injured in total across Friday’s two attacks, although the precise casualty breakdown has not yet been confirmed.
The outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has remained active in the wider area and has previously claimed attacks targeting security forces. Several months ago, the Jhangi facility was also targeted in a suicide attack that reportedly caused extensive damage and left around a dozen police personnel killed or injured.
Further details regarding the latest Lakhani incident, including responsibility for the attack, are awaited. Independent verification is pending.
