On Sunday evening, security forces had foiled a major terrorist attack on the Cadet College after militants rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the institution’s main gate, the military’s media wing said in a statement.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), three terrorists were killed in the retaliatory operation, while nine civilians sustained injuries. The roofs of nearby houses collapsed due to the intensity of the blast.
The ISPR had said the attack was carried out by terrorists affiliated with the Indian proxy network Fitna al Khawarij calling it a heinous and cowardly act of terrorism.
