Terrorists attacked the Pakistan Air Force's (PAF) heavily-guarded M.M. Alam Base in Mianwali early on Saturday morning, but the attack was foiled by security forces, the military said. All nine terrorists were killed in the operation.

The attack came a day after 17 security personnel were martyred in an ambush, bomb blasts, and a security operation in Gwadar, Dera Ismail Khan, and Lakki Marwat.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) after the conclusion of the combing and clearance operation, no damage was done to any of the PAF's functional operational assets, while only some damage was done to three already phased-out nonoperational aircraft during the attack.

The ISPR also said that two police stations and a police check-post in Eisakhel tehsil of Mianwali were also attacked, but these attacks were also thwarted.
