Suicide bombing in Pakistan kills 15, including 12 soldiers: Army
On July 24, 2026, militants rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a security check post in Tank district, northwestern Pakistan, killing 15 people, including 12 soldiers, two policemen, and a former government official. The Pakistani military confirmed the attack, stating that security forces killed 12 militants in response. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility, saying four suicide bombers were involved. The attack occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, near the Afghan border. Pakistan has blamed rising militancy in the region on groups operating from Afghanistan, straining relations with the Taliban government in Kabul, which denies involvement. The incident follows Pakistani airstrikes on Afghan soil in June that reportedly killed dozens of civilians.
