Kohat Police Attack Leaves Ten Dead in KP Gold Mining Ambush

Militants targeted a security team in the remote Darbokach area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during an action against illegal gold extraction.

At least 10 police personnel, including Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Haider Zaman, were killed in the Darbokach area of Kohat.

Ten other personnel sustained injuries, with two critically wounded officers transferred to Peshawar for urgent medical care.

The attack occurred during a security operation targeting illegal gold mining activity along the Indus River.

Difficult terrain and lack of paved roads delayed initial rescue operations following an extended gun battle.
