In a fresh incident of violence, at least five policemen were injured on Wednesday in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when a remote-controlled bomb targeted their vehicle, according to local police reports.

The attack occurred in the Kankoi Mandnar area of Buner district, a mountainous region, where militants struck a mobile police van. Among the injured is a sub-inspector who sustained severe injuries.

Following the attack, authorities dispatched a significant police contingent to the scene, sealing off the area for an intensive search operation.
