A series of coordinated attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan, resulted in the deaths of at least 18 security personnel. The assaults, carried out by militants from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), targeted security camps and police posts in the Bajaur district. The most lethal incident occurred at a Frontier Corps (FC) Scouts camp in the Loi Mamund area, where a suicide bomber detonated explosives at the main gate, allowing over 20 militants to storm the camp and engage in heavy gunfire. Security forces retaliated, killing at least nine attackers during the exchange. Additional attacks in Ainai Kiley and Mamund areas resulted in four more police fatalities. This surge in violence follows a recent explosion at a market in Naurang Bazar, which killed nine people and injured around 30 others. Authorities have expressed concerns over the increasing militant activity in the region, with accusations directed at militants operating from Afghanistan for recent attacks.
