Six attackers were killed and seven police officers died during a six-hour assault by the Pakistani Taliban on the Police Training School in Dera Ismail Khan, which concluded by 4:36 AM UTC on October 11th, 2025, with 200 policemen saved. The operation, which lasted for six hours, saw security forces successfully neutralize the attackers, according to a report from Khorasan Diary. Details regarding the specific timing of the attack's commencement and the exact sequence of events remain limited, but the resolution of the assault falls within the reporting window. This incident follows unconfirmed reports of militant activity in Afghanistan and Pakistan during the preceding hours, which were hampered by an internet and social media blackout in Afghanistan and a lack of official statements. Previous unverified social media posts had indicated possible events in Jalalabad and Nangarhar, Afghanistan, and a militant attack on a police training center in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, on October 10th.
