At least eight people including four cops were martyred and several others were injured in a “suicide bombing” in North Waziristan, police said on Saturday.
The law enforcers said that the attack targeted a police post in Eidak area of Mir Ali. Four of the slain individuals were police personnel, they added.
The injured were shifted to hospital after a rescue operation was launched. Meanwhile, the area was cordoned off by the security forces.
Pakistan has experienced a spike in terrorism since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021. Most terror incidents are reported in provinces bordering the neighbouring country – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
Around a dozen militants were eliminated during anti-terrorism operations by the security forces in KP’s District North Waziristan this month, as the military strives to deal with the menace of terrorism in the country.
A report published by the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) earlier this month stated that the third quarter of 2024 saw a sharp increase in fatalities of terrorist violence and counter-terrorism campaigns with a 90% surge in violence in the country.
