An explosion hit a Rescue 1122 building under construction in the Nekam Kaki area of Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Local police said terrorists planted an explosion inside the structure, causing significant damage. However, no casualties have been reported so far. Authorities are investigating to uncover details and the motive behind the attack.
In a separate string of attacks over 24 hours in Bannu, armed assailants killed at least seven people, including police officers. According to the police spokesperson, five others, including civilians and policemen, sustained injuries in the firing incidents.
Back in April, terrorists attacked the Saddar Police Station in Bannu. The assault injured Station House Officer (SHO) Waseem Sajjad and Constable Hayatullah. Officials shifted both to the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital for medical treatment.
In response, police forces returned fire and killed one attacker, though another managed to escape. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Sajjad Khan and District Police Officer (DPO) Saleem Abbas Kulachi visited the hospital to support the injured officers.
On April 22, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police foiled a major terrorist attack on the Dharey Pul police post in Bannu. The Central Police Office (CPO) said police on duty acted swiftly and stopped the attempt.
The CPO reported that a group of 18 to 19 terrorists tried a coordinated attack. Some came on eight motorcycles, while others crawled toward the post. They opened fire from different directions.
The attackers, linked to Fitna al-Khawarijs, aimed to destroy an IT camera during the strike. However, a strong police response forced them to retreat without completing their objective.
