A suicide attack hit an army camp in Bajaur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing at least 15 Pakistani soldiers, according to initial reports. The incident reportedly began with a powerful explosion near the camp perimeter, followed by an armed assault in which terrorists used heavy weapons to storm the facility. Security forces responded, but details of the attackers’ casualties remain unconfirmed. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility, citing its Special Istishhadi Force, its first official suicide claim since October 2025.
At least nine people were killed and more than two dozen injured in a bomb blast in Lakki Marwat’s bazaar, officials say. The explosion targeted a rickshaw, and police officers were among the dead. Investigators suspect militants linked to the Pakistani Taliban, following another deadly attack on a security post. Pakistan has also raised concerns with Afghanistan’s Taliban about sanctuary sites.
