Pakistan Paramilitary Headquarters Attacked in Peshawar

Heavily armed militants storm Frontier Corps (FC) headquarters in Peshawar, triggering hours-long gunbattle as security forces launch counter-operation.

The Pakistan Paramilitary Headquarters attack in Peshawar shook the nation as militants launched a sudden and coordinated assault on the Frontier Corps (FC) base. The attack began in the early hours, with terrorists reportedly breaching the main gate using automatic weapons and explosives. Authorities immediately responded with a high-alert security lockdown.

Security officials confirmed that the Peshawar paramilitary headquarters attack was carried out by at least three militants. Gunfire and explosions continued for hours as Pakistan’s security forces engaged the attackers in close-quarter combat. The Pakistan Army and police special units were deployed to neutralize the threat and secure the compound.

According to local media, the attack on Peshawar’s paramilitary headquarters resulted in multiple injuries, though final casualty numbers are still being assessed. The motive is believed to be linked to rising militant activity in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region, where such incidents have increased in recent months.

Residents reported hearing repeated gunshots as panic spread across nearby areas. The Pakistan Paramilitary Headquarters attack has once again raised questions about security lapses in high-risk regions and the preparedness of counter-terror agencies in the country.

Officials stated that a full investigation has been launched to determine how the militants managed to infiltrate the area. The Peshawar attack highlights growing concerns about the resurgence of extremist groups targeting military and paramilitary installations.
