RAWALPINDI(National Times)- Six Frontier Constabulary (FCN) personnel were martyred and four were injured while responding to an attempt by terrorists to capture a post in Peshawar\u2019s Hassan Khel area on Monday, sources told\u00a0Dawn<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight terrorists have also been killed in retaliatory action, and the attempt to capture the post was foiled, according to sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources said that three FCN personnel had been taken hostage by the terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources said that security force personnel also reached the site of the incident, and they have cordoned off the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) said in an assessment that after two consecutive months of improvement, Pakistan\u2019s security situation had deteriorated sharply<\/a> in May 2026, driven primarily by escalating terrorist violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country witnessed six suicide attacks during May, including four vehicle-borne suicide bombings. These attacks alone resulted in the deaths of 34 security personnel and nine civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 9, a suicide attack in Bannu<\/a> claimed the lives of 15 police personnel, after which Pakistan issued a \u201cstrong demarche<\/a>\u201d to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a week later, a prominent tribal elder was among three killed<\/a> in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast that struck the busy Rustam Bazaar area of Lower South Waziristan\u2019s Wana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early June, security forces foiled<\/a> a terrorist suicide attack on a military post near Miranshah in North Waziristan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As KP and Balochistan continue to grapple with militancy, with attacks often targeting security personnel<\/u><\/a> and law enforcers, the state has intensified counter-terrorism operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, security forces killed four terrorists<\/a> in two separate intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in KP\u2019s Dera Ismail Khan and Mohmand districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late May, a total of 13 militants<\/a> were killed in a two-day operation in the Darra Adamkhel area bordering the Kohat and Peshawar districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About a week before that, a fierce clash between police, a peace committee and terrorists in Bannu\u2019s Miryan tehsil left at least 25 terrorists dead<\/a> and several others injured. Two police personnel and two civilians were martyred in the exchange of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
