Islamabad Police conducted an intelligence-based operation (IBO) overnight in the Sangjani area last night, recovering a significant amount of weapons and explosives, including hand grenades, a suicide jacket, and an AK-47 rifle, potentially thwarting a major terrorism incident ahead of Muharram processions.

An exchange of fire between the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and the suspects ended when they managed to flee the scene.

The area was quickly secured, and a comprehensive search operation is underway with increased personnel strength.
