Local media outlets reported that Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Badaber Sardar Hussain, two constables were killed during an exchange of gunfire with the terrorists during the overnight attack on assault on the Sarband Police Station in Peshawar.
The way terrorists attacked the police station, is a matter of concern for the Pakistani government as the militants allegedly had the latest and advanced weapons, including hand grenades and night-vision thermal imaging guns.
