India has strongly rejected Pakistan’s recent accusations linking it to the deadly suicide bombing in North Waziristan. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 13 Pakistani soldiers and involved a suicide bomber driving an explosive-laden vehicle into a military convoy near the Afghan border.
The bombing occurred in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and caused significant casualties, including:
- At least 13 soldiers killed
- Approximately 29 people injured, including civilians and police officers
Pakistan’s army blamed India for orchestrating the attack, but India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) dismissed these claims as “deserving of contempt.” The MEA stated that such baseless accusations only hinder peace efforts and increase tensions in the region.
The militant group Hafiz Gul Bahadur claimed responsibility for the attack. This group has been active amid rising violence in Pakistan’s border areas. Authorities revealed that approximately 800 kilograms of explosives were used, marking it as one of the most significant bombings in recent years.
This tragic event further exacerbates the ongoing volatility and strained relations between India and Pakistan, highlighting the continuous challenges both countries face regarding security and counterterrorism along their shared borders.
