This incident follows a similar assault last month in Hangu district, where deadly bomb blasts targeting a police vehicle claimed the lives of SP Operations Asad Zubair and two other officers. That attack began with an explosion at a police check-post in the Gulmina area, followed by a second blast near Darban that hit the officers’ vehicle.
