# 11 Pakistani police killed in militant raid on northwest post 2026-08-08T05:49:54+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Eleven police officers and 15 attackers died in an overnight militant assault on a police post in Hangu district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, police official Irfan Khan said. The hour-long gunbattle began when militants attacked the Khazina post with heavy weapons. Reinforcements were ambushed en route, damaging an armoured personnel carrier. Senior officer Diyar Khan was among the dead. No group claimed responsibility, but suspicion falls on the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has increased attacks in the region. More than two dozen officers were wounded. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Afghan Taliban, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, militant attack, Pakistan, TTP Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/11-pakistani-police-killed-in-militant-raid-on-northwest-post/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
