Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Saturday condemned a terrorist attack on a joint customs check post in Dera Ismail Khan, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.
The attack targeted the Aman Mela check post, where personnel from Pakistan Customs, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police and the province's Excise and Taxation Department were stationed. The FBR said personnel from these agencies were martyred and injured while performing their duties.
The FBR's statement did not specify the exact number of casualties or provide further detail about the assailants or the circumstances of the attack.
Check posts in Dera Ismail Khan and other parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have periodically come under attack amid ongoing security operations in the region, and authorities have repeatedly pledged to pursue those responsible for violence against law enforcement and customs personnel.
