Suicide car bomb kills 12 troops at a security post in northwestern Pakistan

Associated Press  

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A suicide bomber killed 12 members of the security forces and wounded several others after detonating an explosive-laden vehicle at a security post in northwestern Pakistan, officials said Wednesday. In December 2023, a suicide bomber targeted a police station’s main gate in Dera Ismail Khan, a district in northwestern Pakistan, killing 23 troops. Violence has also surged in northwest Pakistan in recent months, where security forces often target TTP and the Gul Bahadur group. Abdullah Khan, a senior defense analyst and managing director of the Islamabad-based Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, said over 900 security forces have been killed in militant attacks in Pakistan since 2022, when TTP ended its cease-fire.
