Pakistani media reported that four security personnel were injured in a suicide attack on a joint police and security forces base in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
On Monday, December 30, Dawn newspaper, citing informed sources, reported that the attack took place at a security checkpoint on the Dera-Tang route.
According to the report, the suicide attacker targeted the security checkpoint using a vehicle, resulting in four security personnel being injured and significant damage to the post.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far, but the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) has consistently targeted security forces, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
This attack comes amid a rise in armed assaults in Pakistan, especially in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces, in recent months.
Just last week, 16 Pakistani security personnel were killed, and eight others injured in a clash with militants in the Makin area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to statistics from Pakistan’s National Assembly, at least 924 people have been killed, and 1,353 others injured in terrorist attacks across the country in the past ten months.
The surge in terrorist attacks in Pakistan, particularly in the tribal regions, reflects the growing challenges faced by the country’s security forces in maintaining stability. While the government has repeatedly accused Afghanistan of providing safe havens for Pakistani Taliban militants, these claims have been rejected by the Afghan Taliban.
The ongoing violence not only threatens the security of Pakistan’s citizens but also complicates relations with neighboring Afghanistan. As both nations navigate these tensions, the international community continues to call for stronger cooperation in countering terrorism and ensuring regional stability.
