Digital Desk: Six militants launched an attack on an air force training base in the central Pakistani area of Mianwali, Punjab, on Saturday morning, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Reportedly, vigilant security forces thwarted the attempt, killing three militants before they could breach the base's defenses. The remaining three attackers were cornered and are currently under siege.
The assault resulted in significant damage, with three aircraft and a fuelling tanker being destroyed, emphasizing the severity of the threat. Tehreek-e Jihad (TTP), a Pakistan-based terror group, claimed responsibility for the attack, as confirmed by Pakistani military authorities.
