Gunmen Attack Paramilitary Headquarters in Peshawar; Blasts, Heavy Firing Reported

The headquarters of Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) in Peshawar came under attack on Monday morning, with gunmen reportedly opening fire on the compound, according to initial reports from Reuters. Police officials confirmed that an incident occurred but said details were still emerging.

Residents living near the FC headquarters took to social media, reporting that they heard a loud blast-like noise shortly before the attack unfolded. Several posts on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that two explosions were heard in quick succession before gunfire erupted.

Unverified videos circulating online captured the sound of intense, sustained firing, heightening concerns of a coordinated assault on the highly guarded facility.

Security forces reportedly cordoned off the area as reinforcements arrived, though there was no immediate confirmation of casualties, the number of attackers, or the extent of damage.

Authorities have yet to issue an official statement, and the situation remains fluid.

This is a developing story. Further updates will follow as more information becomes available.
