In a swift counterattack, security forces in northwest Pakistan eliminated five militants following a suicide bombing at their camp on Friday, according to local police. The attack occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Boya Fort, Datta Khel tehsil in Miran Shah, leaving four security personnel injured.

The confrontation began when a militant detonated an explosive-laden vehicle against the security camp, enabling four other attackers to storm the site and open fire. Security forces quickly retaliated, neutralizing all five militants, despite sustaining injuries themselves.

Authorities immediately secured the area, launching a clearance operation and deploying a bomb disposal squad to inspect the scene. This incident underscores a troubling uptick in terrorist attacks in the region, with Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa witnessing increased militant activities.
