Foiled Attack Details
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants attempted to target a security post using an explosives-laden vehicle near Miranshah in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's North Waziristan district, they said.
However, security personnel, who were on high alert, detected the threat and destroyed the vehicle before it could reach its intended target.
During the operation, four terrorists were killed, they added.
Explosion Near Miranshah
Separately, an explosion occurred near Aslam Packet, approximately half a kilometre from Nizamia Eidak Market towards Miranshah.
The blast was so powerful that it shattered windowpanes and forced open doors of houses within a two-kilometre radius.
Residents said that despite the blast's intensity, security forces did not impose any restrictions on public movement in the area after the incident.
