At least three people, including a child, were killed, and 11 others were injured in a series of terror incidents that took place across Pakistan’s volatile northwest on Wednesday.
The first attack occurred in Dera Ismail Khan district, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where unidentified militants targeted a police checkpost in the Daraban area around 1 AM. The assault resulted in the deaths of a police constable and a laborer, with two others sustaining injuries. The attackers managed to flee the scene, and security forces have launched a search operation.
In a second incident, a bomb placed on a motorbike exploded in the Azam Warsak area of South Waziristan district, killing a young child and injuring four others. The explosion, which occurred in the early hours, sent shockwaves through the local community. The injured were rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment, while authorities are investigating the motives behind the attack.
These deadly attacks highlight the ongoing security challenges faced by Pakistan’s northwest region, particularly in areas like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and South Waziristan, which have been plagued by militant activity in recent years.
Local police and security forces have intensified efforts to combat militant groups in the region, but such incidents continue to impact the safety of civilians. The Pakistani government has yet to comment on the specific groups responsible for these attacks.
