According to a statement issued by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), its fighters attacked the Anarchina police post in Hangu on Tuesday, initially wounding two police officers before later targeting a responding security convoy. The group claimed six security personnel were killed or wounded and that eight police officers subsequently surrendered following mediation by local elders.

TTP also claimed to have seized a large quantity of weapons, ammunition and other equipment from the post. Independent verification is pending.
