22 wounded and at least two dead in the attack on DI Khan

In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s DI Khan area on Thursday, a vehicle bomb detonated, leaving at least two persons dead and 22 wounded.

The event happened close to the district’s Hathala police station. A sizable number of security personnel roped off the area and began a preliminary investigation shortly after the event.

The injured were sent to a CMH hospital that was close by.

According to police sources, cars traveling between Tank and DI Khan were the target of the car bomb. About the force to which the cars belonged, nothing was known.

In order to ascertain the kind and quantity of explosives used in the attack, the bomb disposal team also launched an inquiry.

At least 23 troops lost their lives in a significant strike in December of last year when terrorists crashed a truck carrying explosives into a security checkpoint in the DI Khan area.

The terrorists rammed the explosive-laden car after their efforts to break in were “effectively thwarted,” according to the military’s media wing.

After the vehicle bomb, there was another suicide assault, which caused the structure to fall and resulted in several casualties. According to ISPR, six terrorists were slain in the incident.

According to two security officials who spoke to Reuters, the structure was being used as a base camp by security troops. They also expressed concern that munitions that was kept inside may have detonated as well.
