A drone attack and ambush by Islamist militants at a police post in Pakistan's northwestern Hangu district killed 11 police officers and wounded approximately two dozen others.
The hours-long raid triggered a gunbattle that also resulted in the deaths of 15 attackers. This event marks the second such assault in the region within a single week.
The attack took place in the volatile Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Authorities have blamed a growing wave of attacks in the area on militants operating from neighbouring Afghanistan.
