Pakistan’s security forces thwarted a major terrorist bid on Monday as the terrorists belonged to banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) try to replicate the 2014 Army Public School (APS) tragedy.
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) released the official statement, saying "on 10 November 2025, in a heinous and cowardly terrorist act, Khwarij belonging to Indian proxy Fitna al Khwarij attacked Cadet College Wana in South Waziristan District."
According to ISPR, the attackers rammed an explosives-laden vehicle against the main gate of the college, causing it to collapse and damaging an adjacent structure. The terrorists then entered the educational facility and were “cornered in the college’s administrative block”.
ISPR said that the attackers attempted to breach the Cadet College’s security perimeters. However, their nefarious designs were swiftly foiled by the vigilant and resolute response by own troops.
It added that a clearance operation was underway, with initial reports indicating that four to five terrorists have been killed.
