SOUTH WAZIRISTAN – Indian backed terrorists Fitna al Khwarij launched cowardly and brutal assault on Cadet College Wana early Monday morning with mission to unleash bloodshed and terror among Pakistan’s youth but the nefarious designs were thwarted by the valor and vigilance of security forces.
In a statement, military’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations said militants attempted to breach the college’s perimeter security but were immediately engaged by Pakistani troops, who responded with precision and unmatched bravery.
The attackers rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the main gate, causing massive explosion that destroyed the entrance and damaged nearby infrastructure. Despite initial blast, our defenders stood firm. Two terrorists were swiftly eliminated outside the compound. However, three militants managed to slip inside and are now trapped within the college’s administrative block, where a tense clearance operation is ongoing.
The attackers are in direct contact with their handlers in Afghanistan, receiving real-time instructions. This latest assault once again exposes the false assurances of the Afghan Taliban regime, which continues to deny the presence of such groups on its soil.
Pakistani officials revealed parallels between this attack and the 2014 Army Public School Peshawar tragedy, noting that the terrorists sought to spread fear among students from the former tribal regions.
Pakistan reserves the right to respond decisively against terrorists and their leadership based in Afghanistan. The blood of our children will not be shed in vain.
Meanwhile, clearance operations are in full swing under the ongoing national campaign “Azm-e-Istehkam”, approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan.
