The attack on a security forces post took place at 2 a.m. and involved about 30 militants attacking from three sides, resulting in 16 soldiers being martyred.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it was in retaliation for the martyrdom of their senior commanders, and reported a higher death toll.
The insurgency in Pakistan has been escalating since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan in 2021, with the TTP leading violent attacks against security personnel.
