Security forces in Lakki Marwat, Pakistan, successfully rescued eight of the 17 laborers who were kidnapped by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) during an ambush on January 9, 2025. The laborers, who were associated with a government mining project, were taken hostage when TTP militants attacked their vehicle and subsequently set it on fire. The rescue operation was conducted by police and law enforcement agencies, resulting in the recovery of eight individuals, while three others sustained injuries during the operation. The TTP, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the state, has been involved in various abductions in the region, raising concerns over security in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Efforts are ongoing to secure the release of the remaining kidnapped workers, as authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.
