Peshawar Capital City Police Officer Dr. Mian Saeed Ahmad issued a stark statement as the situation unfolded: “The FC headquarters is under attack. We are responding and the area is being cordoned off.” Residents nearby reported hearing two powerful blasts, heightening fears of a prolonged standoff.
FC headquarters is located in the densely populated Saddar area on Sunheri Masjid Road. Soon after the incident, the site was immediately cordoned off and authorities diverted all traffic to alternate routes to ensure public safety.
Eyewitnesses said most people were either dropping children at school or returning home when the blast occurred. Nearby, 52 shops remained closed in the aftermath. Inside the camp, explosives brought by the attackers were destroyed in a controlled operation, which also produced a loud secondary blast.
Attackers were armed with hand grenades, modern rifles, and other explosive materials, and their plan was to storm the barracks and take personnel hostage, but the security forces intercepted them and neutralized the threat near the gate. The swift response of the FC and police prevented a potentially catastrophic situation, demonstrating the vigilance and preparedness of the security forces in the metropolis.
This latest strike comes at a time when Pakistan has been grappling with a violent resurgence in terrorism, particularly across KP and Balochistan.
