A tragic suicide bombing struck northwestern Pakistan, killing at least 13 soldiers near the Afghan border. The attack occurred when a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden car into a military convoy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, officials reported on Saturday.
This brutal assault has also injured dozens, including civilians and police officers, as confirmed by multiple sources including local government officials and AFP. The area is known for rising militant violence, and the explosion involved approximately 800 kilograms of explosives according to an initial probe.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, adding to the region’s ongoing security challenges. Pakistan’s military and government officials are currently investigating the incident and coordinating responses.
This event comes amid tension in the region, with allegations and denials exchanged between Pakistan and neighboring India about involvement in such militant activities. The Ministry of External Affairs in India has completely rejected Pakistan’s accusations linking it to this attack, calling such claims contemptible.
The attack has intensified concerns over stability in the border regions and highlights the persistent dangers faced by military personnel. The impact of this bombing is being closely monitored by international communities and security analysts, as the situation develops.
