At least six other personnel sustained injuries in the overnight gun assault.
Terrorists launched an attack on a police checkpoint located in Lakki Marwat in the early hours of Thursday. Later, the police contingent exchanged gunfire with the terrorists. Following the incident, the police initiated a search operation to locate and apprehend the terrorists.
