NEW DELHI: Pak Air Force base in Nothern Pakistan’s Mianwali reportedly came under a massive terror attack involving suicide bombers on Friday night. Several videos of the attack were shared on social media. Reuters quoted the Pakistan military and reported that nine attackers were killed in response to the attack as heavy fighting went on starting from Friday night.
Reports said the Taliban-linked group Tehreek-e-Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack. The attackers were eliminated and the clearance operation is underway, reports said.
According to claims, the attackers used a ladder to enter the fenced walls of the airbase and they were equipped with the latest weapons. In the attack, multiple planes parked inside the Air Force base were destroyed, reports said. The attack and the extent of damage have been confirmed by the Pakistan Army but they called it a failed terror attack.
Shehbaz Sharif, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, strongly criticised the terrorist attack on the Pakistan Air Force training base in Mianwali, as reported by Pakistani daily ‘Dawn’. He emphasised that these attacks clearly demonstrate the desperation of the enemies.
In a post on X, Shehbaz Sharif stated, “Strongly condemn the cowardly terrorist attack on the Pakistan Air Force base in Mianwali. Salute our security forces for their swift action, preventing casualties and foiling evil plans of our enemies. These repeated attacks reveal our enemies’ desperation, but we stand resilient. Our forces are vigilant, united to defeat terrorism. We’re determined to preserve peace and stability. Prayers for the affected families and our brave security personnel.”
