12 Police Officers Killed as Militants Use Car Bomb and Drones in Pakistan
In northwest Pakistan’s Bannu district, at least 12 police officers were killed and five others injured after militants rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a checkpoint late Saturday. The blast was followed by gunfire and a small drone assault that intensified the attack. Officials report that the attackers then stormed the post, seizing weapons and personnel as they withdrew. This incident adds to a wave of militant violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and has stoked tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan’s Taliban government. Authorities confirm one officer remains missing as investigations continue. Rising militancy in the region has triggered growing security concerns along the border.
