Heavy contingents of the police and Pakistan Army cordoned off the area after the attack.
Terrorists are believed to be holed up in the nearby mountainous area, Geo News reported.
When contacted, police sources told the Pakistani news channel that the terrorists will be arrested in the ongoing search operation.
PPP’s Sherry Rehman posted on X: " Strongly condemn the terrorist attack on a checkpoint in Kohat that led to the martyrdom of three police officers and a civilian.
