US EditionPolice officer killed in suicide bombing in northwest Pakistan
At least one police officer was killed and six others wounded in a suicide bombing targeting a police vehicle, as authorities search for the bomber's accomplice, officials said.
- On Monday, a suicide bomb detonated near a police vehicle in Lakki Marwat district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing at least one police officer and wounding several others, local police official Ashfaq Khan said.
- A recent surge in violence across Pakistan has led officials to point to local separatists and the TTP, with authorities blaming Balochistan-based separatists and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan.
- Separately, media reported suicide bombers and gunmen attacked a military facility overnight in Nokandi district, Balochistan, and the Balochistan Liberation Front claimed responsibility for targeting a Frontier Corps office with ongoing fighting.
- There was no immediate comment from Pakistan's military or government after the incidents, though Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack in a statement.
- Recent cross-border clashes and a fragile cease-fire on Oct. 19 frame the broader regional context; Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs last week welcomed mediation by Iran and Saudi Arabia but urged Kabul to rein in the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan.
