A police official said that assailants used both light and heavy weapons in the midnight attack.
“It was an attack from all sides, aimed at seizing control of the police post,” the official told Dawn News.
The official said police officers engaged the attackers until reinforcements arrived.

The bodies were immediately shifted to the District Headquarters Hospital.
Pakistan is witnessing a spike in terror attacks in recent years.
