Samma is reporting 16 injured that have been taken to the hospital.

Security forces are inside the hostel. Commandoes are leading with police commandoes in second point.

Either they are dead or have made it to hostel buildings, latter is terrible to imagine.

If we are to be prepared for high casualties then what is the point of all this operation??

There are news of 200 cadets taken hostage. Obviously there will be high casualties. with or without operation if the figure is right

Firing is being exchanged. . A suicide bomber blew himself up some time ago.

Clearance will take a few hours to secure the area completely.

Let's hope the losses are bare minimum and no loss of life happens.

According to samma

Most likely conducted by RAW.

So this is our preparedness for war. After 8 years of war 4-5 terrorists can enter a police training center with ease and can hold hostage 200 recruits.

MashaAllah

Any alternatives ?

there are more than 400 Cadets inside, all unarmed ... sleeping & unprepared ... from tactical point of view it is a total nightmare ... if there was a resistance for only 10 minutes from the security guards stationed at the initial check posts it would not have happened ... now that terrorists are inside & we have a hostage situation ... it is already over 30 min to 1 hr .... Damage has been done ... Right now it is about to control the damage .... 200 is far worse than 20 .....

So it's going to be another APS.

Four explosions have been heard, some suggest at least one sounded as if one scum bag has detonated himself.

I don't think they have made to the hostel buildings
They will kill anyone there on sight there and will try to inflect Maximum casualties before getting engaged in a gun battle with forces

@Irfan Baloch

These types of large scale operations by militants are almost always carried out by inside help in one form or another. I wonder how deep does this infiltration goes in our state and what steps have been taken by the relevant departments regarding this issue?

there is always this possibility

to answer the question we need to first Identify if this is BLA backed or is it TTP / Lashker Jhangvi based attack

BLA normally conducts ambushes and hit and run attacks... this one seems to be a different one in a way that the terrorists are planning to take people hostage or cause maximum casualties after rounding up the unarmed recruits inside the hostels


talking about infiltration .. again there are two in nature... one is religious and for that we have no antidote unless we do a Kamal Atta Turk on Pakistan banning and incarcerating the Political Mullah Jamat Islami and Hizb Tahrir has hardcore followers in the society and in the civil service including the military (Mahran and Minhas Base attacks had the inside help from takfiri ideologist scums)

the other is possibility ethnic and maybe funded supported by foreign hostile forces .. the claim of responsibility will be made soon and if the terrorists dont escape and are killed or captured then we will know more
