MOL Pakistan has received reports that its production facility located at Manzalai, Banda Dawood Shah, District Karak, has come under gunfire, presumably from terrorists. Security personnel swiftly responded and repelled the attack, the company added.

Security forces swiftly mobilized in response to the distress call, navigating through rugged terrain to reach the besieged site. “Our priority was to ensure the safety of personnel and secure the perimeter,” remarked an official working for the KP Police, speaking under condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the operation.
Amid the turmoil, MOL, Pakistan officials remained tight-lipped, refraining from divulging specifics but confirming the occurrence of a security breach. “We are cooperating closely with law enforcement agencies to ascertain the extent of the damage and address the situation,” a spokesperson for the company stated cautiously.
