Text: Over 300 Drone Attacks Thwarted in Bannu in 2025 : Senior Police Official Bannu police faced nearly 134 attacks in 2025, resulting in the deaths of 27 police personnel. In response, law-enforcement operations led to the killing of 53 militants during the same period. He said Bannu police carried out 168 intelligence-based operations, arresting 105 terrorists and neutralizing 65. Successful joint operations were conducted in Huwed, Miryan, Bargantu, and Dawood Shah, underscoring close coordination among police and security agencies. DIG Sajjad Khan emphasized that Bannu police hold a prominent position across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for bravery and resilience. He credited an effective strategy built on public participation, noting that collaboration with community elders led to the formation of Chugha committees, strengthening local intelligence and trust. The DIG revealed that militants possess drone technology and have conducted around 20 drone strikes. However, following the deployment of anti-drone guns, over 300 attempted attacks were thwarted, and five militant drones were destroyed. He added that drones were operated from areas including Ghora Baka Khel and Sara Darga. Addressing concerns about militants’ countermeasures, DIG Sajjad Khan stated that reports of terrorists possessing anti-drone guns are likely dummy devices. |
