An attack by terrorists at the Jaday Wali check post on the Punjab-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) border in Taunsa Sharif tehsil (revenue unit) of Taunsa District of Punjab was foiled following a heavy retaliatory fire by the Police on January 4, reports ARY News. The terrorists eventually retreated and fled the area. According to Police, a group of 15 to 20 terrorists launched a coordinated assault on the border post, attacking in small groups from all four sides. The terrorists used rocket launchers and heavy ammunition during the encounter. Police officials credited thermal imaging cameras for the timely detection of the terrorists, which allowed for a swift and successful defensive action. Personnel at the post immediately responded with machine-gun fire and mortars. Due to this prompt and effective retaliation, the terrorists were unable to reach the perimeter of the check post. Under intense pressure from the Police, the terrorists backtracked and fled the scene.
