A roadside bomb in Bajaur, Pakistan, killed at least five people and injured 11 others, including the Assistant Commissioner Faisal Sultan. The injured have been taken to hospitals, with several in critical condition. While no one has claimed responsibility yet, the Pakistan Taliban is likely blamed for the attack, which frequently targets both security forces and civilians. TTP has found refuge in Afghanistan, and its collaboration with the Afghan Taliban since their takeover in 2021 has strengthened their operations in the region.
