Reliable reporting confirms that six security personnel were killed in the attack on a convoy in Hangu. Newer unofficial reports claim that Captain Abu Zar and Lieutenant Shiraz, who were reported wounded, later died from their injuries and that the overall toll has risen to eight. There were also reports of an exchange of fire during the incident. The revised figure of eight, including the two officers, has not yet been independently confirmed through a fresh official statement or other reliable sources and is therefore being reported as unverified.
