Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has handed over 10 new armored personnel carriers (APCs) to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police to strengthen counterterrorism operations amid rising terrorist incidents in the province.

The APCs were provided on the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who ordered their immediate transfer to the provincial police force.
