Lakki Marwat: Public and Police Peace Committee clash with Taliban, Fighting Enters Second Day; a police officer and one civilian dead, 18 civilians injured, six Taliban killed

In the Takhti Khel area, a clash between the local peace militia (Aman Lashkar) and Taliban resulted in the death of one police officer and one civilian, while 18 people, including women and children, were injured. Using drones, the peace committee identified the bodies of six Taliban affiliates. Police could initially retrieve only one body in an armored vehicle, identified as Maulana Nusrat of Jani Khel.

Commander Nusratullah Wazir, also known as Maulvi Zarar Waziristani, son of Ata Muhammad Khan, a resident of Hindi Khel, Jani Khel, was considered one of the leading commanders of the TTP’s Bannu chapter, with operational influence across multiple districts. He had been appointed head of “Dawat o Irshad” (preaching and outreach) for the Bannu chapter for two consecutive terms (2025 and 2026), and was recently assigned the same position for the Dera Ismail Khan chapter as well.

Nusratullah Wazir was well known in militant circles for planning and executing attacks in coordination with allied militant organizations. Security forces had placed a bounty of 2.5 million rupees on his head, and he was wanted in 28 serious terrorism cases.
