A deadly suicide bomb attack targeted a police security post in Bannu, Bannu on Saturday night. Attackers rammed an explosives-filled vehicle into the checkpoint before opening fire on security personnel. The powerful blast destroyed parts of the building, trapping officers under the rubble. Rescue teams later recovered at least 14 bodies, while several injured officers were taken to hospital. Officials said the attackers also used heavy weapons and drones during the assault. A militant group linked to the Pakistani Taliban reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack. Pakistan’s leaders strongly condemned the attack as security forces increased operations in the area. The incident highlights the growing militant violence in northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border.
