An explosion hit Khyber district in northwest Pakistan, injuring seven individuals, five of whom were Frontier Corps personnel, authorities revealed. The targeted attack focused on a vehicle carrying security forces.
Victims were quickly transported to a nearby medical facility, with some reported to be in critical condition, according to a police source. The explosive device was concealed in a motorcycle parked roadside.
In response, police and security forces secured the scene and initiated a comprehensive search operation. Officials blame the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan for the resurgence in violence after the collapse of their ceasefire accord in late 2022.
