Cowardly Attack by Khawarij in Bagh Maidan: Three Civilians Martyred, Nine Injured
In Bagh Maidan, local citizens were holding a peaceful protest in front of the Brigade Headquarters to demand their legitimate rights when Khawarij exploited the situation to launch a cowardly and deceitful assault.
Hiding in nearby mountains, the militants opened indiscriminate fire on the unarmed protesters. As a result, three innocent civilians were martyred and nine sustained serious injuries.
Authorities confirmed that the attack was part of a broader conspiracy aimed at creating mistrust between the people and security forces, challenging the state’s authority, and sabotaging peace in the region.
It is significant to note that, in recent days, local Jirgas had announced collective resistance against Khawarij in coordination with the security forces. Feeling threatened by this unity, the militants targeted civilians to spread fear and division.
Security forces demonstrated utmost professionalism and restraint, refraining from any retaliatory action. They quickly evacuated the injured to the FC Hospital in Shakas, where they received free medical treatment.
This incident has made it clear that Khawarij now target civilians who have rejected their destructive ideology. However, the people understand that their real aim is to destroy the hard-earned peace of the area.
Security forces remain fully committed to protecting, serving, and supporting the people, standing resolutely with them in the fight against Khawarij.
