At least 11 security personnel were killed and 30 others injured in a suicide bombing targeting a police checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan on Saturday.
The attack took place in Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to Pakistani police and rescue officials.
Rescue teams recovered the casualties and took the injured to nearby hospitals. Several of the wounded were reported to be in critical condition.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a banned militant group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Dera Ismail Khan has repeatedly been targeted in militant attacks, particularly against police and security forces.
The TTP is separate from but allied with Afghanistan’s Taliban, which returned to power in 2021. Pakistan has repeatedly accused Afghanistan of allowing TTP members to operate from its territory, while Kabul denies the allegation.
