Nine police, including a deputy superintendent, martyred overnight.

Militants overran the Khazina Banda checkpost in Hangu district, Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; 28 officers were wounded, Inspector General Zulfiqar Hameed said.

Police say 15 attackers were killed; the province’s static, lightly built checkposts remain the front line against Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan.
