A rocket attack targeting a police check post in Dera Ghazi Khan has left several officers injured, local authorities reported. The attack, which occurred late on Wednesday night, is believed to have been carried out by a group of terrorists operating in the region.
Sources say the rocket was fired from a distance, striking the check post in the outskirts of the city. The blast caused significant damage to the structure and injured at least five police personnel, though the exact number is still being verified.
Security forces have cordoned off the area, and emergency services have been dispatched to treat the injured officers. No terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet, but it is suspected that militant groups in the border region may be behind the incident.
Authorities are investigating the attack and have increased security measures across the district in response. The local police are working closely with military units to track down the perpetrators and prevent further attacks.
This incident comes amid rising security concerns in the region, where terrorist groups have been known to operate, targeting law enforcement and military personnel in recent months.
