On July 10, 2026, a joint intelligence-based operation by Karak and Kohat police in the Khattak Dam area along the Karak-Kohat border resulted in the killing of four terrorists belonging to the Commander Zahid group. The operation was launched after credible intelligence about the presence of militants. The terrorists opened fire, prompting a retaliatory response. The group was reportedly involved in previous attacks on police officers, including the killings of SHO Umar Nawaz, Inspector Tahir Nawaz, DSP Asad Mehmood, Sub-Inspector Anar Gul, and others. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi praised the police and described the militants as 'India-sponsored terrorists'. The operation reflects ongoing efforts to curb terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which has seen a surge in attacks.
