Security forces have identified two terrorists responsible for the attack on the Karachi Police Office (KPO) on Friday night.

Two of the three militants killed in retaliation by the security forces were from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).

During the security operation, the terrorist who detonated himself was Kifayatullah, a resident of Wanda Amir, Lakki Marwat and the son of Miraz Ali Khan.

Zala Noor, a native of North Waziristan and the son of Wazir Hasan, was identified as the second terrorist.

According to reports, the attack severely damaged the police department’s headquarters. Numerous walls and windows, and doors have been destroyed by gunfire.

A suicide bomber detonated himself on the stairs next to the elevator in front of the police chief’s office in Karachi, causing extensive damage.

The explosion has rendered the elevator inoperable and has strewn the office with equipment and important documents. Additionally, the explosion destroyed the wall’s plaster and tiling.

Visit PM Shehbaz’s calls for “collective action” and condemns the terrorist attack in Karachi to learn more.

Karachi police also released a video depicting the attack, in which DIG East Muqadas Haider and his assailant Taimur can be seen repelling the terrorists.

The day before, terrorists wearing suicide vests armed with automatic weapons and grenades attacked the Karachi Police Office. Four people were killed, including two police officers and a Sindh Rangers soldier, and sixteen others were injured.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the attack that occurred between 7 and 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Under cover of indiscriminate fire, the attackers first made their way into a mosque near the KPO.

As soon as the incident was reported, police, Rangers, members of the Special Security Unit, officers from other agencies, and trained commandos arrived. As a result, Sarah-e-Faisal was closed to traffic, and the electricity supply to the region was also cut off.

During the initial operation, a terrorist wearing a suicide vest detonated himself on the fourth floor of the building. The police and Rangers commandos then began searching the upper floors of the building.

At that time, heavy gunfire and loud explosions emanated from within the compound, filling the area with noise. The terrorists eventually reached the roof of the building, barricading themselves until the Rangers and police commandos killed them following a fierce gun battle.

According to the spokesperson for the Sindh government, Murtaza Wahab Siddiqui, “four people were killed in the attack, including two police officers, one Ranger, and one sanitation worker.” The three terrorists had been eliminated, he continued, signifying the conclusion of the operation.
