Reports in local media said four people were martyred in the latest terror incident where 10 militants attacked Lachi Toll Plaza and security checkpost.
Pakistan Army and police contingents rushed to the site and cordoned off the region and launched a search operation to hunt down the insurgents.
It was reported that terrorists attacked and escaped to the mountainous region while a search operation is underway.
