The report added that one militant, clad in a chaddor, approached the gate and detonated himself. Soon, two other militants followed him, trying to enter the compound.
Peshawar Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Dr Mian Saeed Ahmad told reporters that one suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate. “Initially, three militants tried to attack the headquarters. One blew himself up at the gate, while two others tried to enter the premises but were gunned down by FC personnel,” he added.
In the exchange of gunfire, three men were martyred while two others were injured.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack and lauded security forces for their timely action.
The paramilitary force, originally called the Frontier Constabulary, was renamed by the government in July. The headquarters of the force is located close to the main compound and houses barracks, hospitals, and residential quarters.
