Deadly Suicide Attack Claims 10 Pakistani Soldiers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

A devastating suicide attack struck a military checkpoint in Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan on Tuesday evening, November 19. The incident resulted in the death of 10 Pakistani soldiers and left several others wounded when a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle near the Mali Khel checkpoint.

Following the initial explosion, gunfire erupted in the area, causing significant damage to the checkpoint and completely destroying a military vehicle. The Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, a faction of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack.

This marks the second explosion in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa within hours, as an earlier attack claimed eight soldiers’ lives. Recent statistics indicate a dramatic 90 percent increase in militant activities across Pakistan’s tribal regions.
