Insurgents attack police station in Peshawar

PESHAWAR: At least eight policemen including an SHO were injured after near dozen insurgents attacked a police station in one of Peshawar's densely populated areas, Geo News reported.

According to Geo News correspondent, at least ten or more militants, armed to teeth with automatic weaponry, stormed into “C- Division” Police Station in the heart of the city drawing a strong retaliation from the cops.

Some blasts also rocked the area before the gunning started which could be hand grenades, said he.

The residential area, now gripped in the worst of fears has been cordoned off.

The correspondent also told Geo News that at least 20-25 cops man the station, but heavy backup has been beckoned as insurgents were still standing strong against all the force the station held.

At least eight cops received bullet wounds including an SHO, the correspondent added.

More details are yet awaited.
