Two policemen shot dead in ambush attack in KP’s Lakki Marwat

PESHAWAR – At least two policemen of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police succumbed to their injuries after being shot at by unidentified gunmen in Lakki Marwat on Tuesday.

Reports in local media said motorbike-borne assailants opened fire on law enforcers near the Ghazni Khel area. The attackers managed to escape after spraying bullets.

The policemen were returning from their duties at an examination center. Meanwhile, the bodies of the deceased cops were shifted to the district hospital.

The killing of the law enforcers is the latest in a string of terrorist attacks across Pakistan. Three children were killed alongside as many Pakistan Army soldiers in a suicide attack in the Miranshah area of North Waziristan last week.

On Monday, at least one woman died and 11 others sustained injuries in blast near Karachi’s Kharadar. An improvised explosive device (IED) was planted in a motorcycle to target a police vehicle.
