Story summary
On Saturday in Dera Ismail Khan, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan near the border with Balochistan, at least 12 people were killed and around 30 injured when a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a police checkpoint. The attack targeted the Aman Mela checkpost, used for security and anti-smuggling measures along the DI Khan-Quetta Road. Among those killed were eight men, two women, and two children, according to Rescue 1122 officials.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the bombing in a statement, revealing an ongoing surge of militant attacks in Pakistan. The TTP is described by the Counter Extremism Project as a conglomerate of roughly 40 tribal and non-tribal militant groups fighting against the Pakistani state and allied with the Afghan Taliban.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi strongly condemned the attack, expressing condolences to the victims' families and asserting that Pakistan's resolve against terrorism remains unshaken.
