11 Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Check Post Blast

At least 11 people were killed and several others injured after an explosive-laden vehicle crashed into a security check post in Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday. The powerful blast caused massive destruction in the surrounding area, damaging nearby buildings and vehicles while sending shockwaves across the locality.

According to initial reports, the vehicle rammed into the check post before detonating, triggering a high-intensity explosion. Security personnel and civilians were among those killed in the attack. Emergency teams rushed to the site soon after the blast, shifting the injured to nearby hospitals, where some are said to be in critical condition.

The attack occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province that has witnessed repeated militant violence in recent years. Security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to trace those responsible. Authorities suspect the involvement of extremist groups operating in the region, though no outfit immediately claimed responsibility.

Pakistan has seen a surge in attacks targeting security installations, particularly in border districts close to Afghanistan. The latest incident adds to growing concerns over the deteriorating security situation in the province.

An investigation is underway, and senior officials have condemned the attack, vowing strict action against those involved. Further details are awaited as rescue and clearance operations continue at the blast site.
