PESHAWAR, 29 August, 2026 (Nosheen): An attempt by militants to carry out a drone attack on Matani Police Station in Peshawar was foiled due to enhanced security measures, officials said. Peshawar Capital City Police Officer Mian Saeed said footage had been obtained showing explosives being dropped from a drone targeting the police station. According to the CCPO, the attack attempt was thwarted after a protective barrier installed around the police station prevented the explosives from falling inside the station’s compound. No casualties were reported in the incident, the official said. Mian Saeed said steps were being taken to further strengthen the security of police stations in surrounding areas. Specialised protective barriers would be installed at vulnerable police facilities to protect them against possible drone attacks. Following the incident, security measures have been further tightened at sensitive and vulnerable police installations across the area, officials said.
