A suicide attack in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has resulted in the tragic loss of nine soldiers’ lives and left five others injured. The attack occurred when a motorcycle-borne suicide bomber detonated explosives near a military convoy in the Jani Khel area of the Bannu district. Security forces have cordoned off the area and launched an operation to eliminate any remaining terrorists.
Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar expressed his condolences for the brave soldiers and condemned the cowardly terrorist act. This incident follows a clash last week in which six soldiers and four terrorists lost their lives in South Waziristan.
