A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives at a security checkpoint in Pakistan. About 17 security personnel were killed in the attack, while many were injured. This attack took place in Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The Hafiz Gul Bahadur faction, a splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Although the government has not commented on the incident, security and intelligence officials have confirmed that they are conducting an operation against those responsible for the attack.
According to media reports, Pakistan has seen an increase in terrorist attacks since November 2022, when the Taliban ended the ceasefire agreement with the Pakistani government. The Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), is a separate group from the Afghan Taliban, but it has strong ties with the Afghan Taliban. The TTP’s leadership and fighters are reportedly based in Afghanistan, where they have consolidated their positions since being taken over by the Taliban in 2021.
Pakistani army launched anti-terrorist operation
Actually, security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan have been running anti-terrorist operations against terrorists for a long time. On 19 November, another encounter took place between Pakistan security forces and terrorists, in which troops killed two top Lashkar-e-Islam commanders. However, eight Pakistani security personnel were also martyred in this encounter. The operation was part of the ongoing efforts to eliminate terrorism by the Pakistani Army and Police, who have so far conducted several successful operations against terrorists in the region. But in this conflict the security personnel are also suffering heavy losses.
