The outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the overnight attack on the Shadi Pur police checkpoint in Kohat, in which four police personnel were seriously injured.
In a statement issued Wednesday, the TTP claimed that its fighters also set fire to two police vehicles and seized two rifles during the attack. The group further claimed that its members suffered no casualties.
Earlier, the DPO Kohat said police had repelled the attack, forcing the assailants to withdraw from the area. The four injured police personnel were shifted to District Headquarters Hospital Kohat for treatment.
The TTP’s additional claims regarding the vehicles, weapons and circumstances of the attackers’ withdrawal have not been independently confirmed.
Independent verification is pending.
