A deadly militant assault in northwestern Pakistan left eleven police officers dead and over two dozen wounded in a brutal hour-long gunbattle, with security forces killing fifteen attackers. The coordinated attack, which included ambushes on reinforcements and damage to armored vehicles, targeted a police post in Hangu district.
